Event Description

At this months Grey Lynn 2030 monthly meeting, David Clendon is speaking on

"Triple Crunch" - the interlinked credit, climate and energy crises.

If you are new to this complex idea, it is explained well on the New Economics Foundation site. Some people who now think the recession is not a recession but a permanent change due to oil supplies having peaked. As Yes magazine puts it "Whether it was divine providence or just good luck, we should give thanks that financial collapse hit us before the worst of global warming and peak oil. As challenging as the economic meltdown may be, it lays bare the failure of a financial system that has brought us to the brink of an even more devastating social and environmental collapse".

Please come along with an open mind to explore these ideas.

David is the Northern Regional Manager of the Sustainable Business Council and will speak about Triple Crunch from a New Zealand perspective.
