Green Transformational Policies towards Sustainability

Event Type
Panel Discussion

Location / Date
Berlin, 11.03.2014

German Advisory Council on Global Change (WBGU) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH

If we are to prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system and to preserve humanity's life support systems for future generations, we need a radical transformation in the way we use our planet's natural resources. The market is failing to bring about the necessary changes and its incentive structures even caused the current crisis. Governments must therefore intervene. The panelists of this event discussed the opportunities and challenges that a transformation to global sustainability might entail.

Panelists

• Marianne Fay, Chief Economist for Sustainable Development and Climate Change at the World Bank
• Tanja Gönner, Chair of the GIZ Management Board
• Dirk Messner, Chair of WBGU and Director of the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE)

Moderator: Conny Czymoch
