How can businesses navigate the polycrisis while growing sustainably? Today's interconnected world faces a polycrisis – overlapping emergencies like climate breakdown, social inequality, and economic fragility – forcing companies to move beyond growth models that harm the planet. Join Gaya Herrington as she explores how post-WWII systems, focused on endless expansion, have accelerated resource depletion and potential collapse (as warned by the 1972 Club of Rome study). She highlights the urgent need for systemic change, covering alternative frameworks like well-being economics and policies such as degrowth and green growth.
