Green New Deal

Some of the biggest names in the green and development movements have come together to write a report outlining the policies which could solve the “triple crunch of the credit crisis, climate change and high oil prices”. They’re calling it The Green New Deal, in an allusion to Franklin D Roosevelt’s courageous programme to rescue the American economy after the Wall Street Crash of 1929 which marked the beginning of the Great Depression.

The report has received widespread national media attention because of the high profile of the authors. It is a collaboration between some familiar names, including Tony Juniper, who until recently was director of Friends of the Earth, Caroline Lucas, Green Party MEP, Andrew Simms, policy director of the New Economics Foundation and Ann Pettifor who gave us the Jubilee 2000 campaign and is now Campaign Director of Operation Noah.

Two of these authors will be in Leeds on 4th October as speakers at the Schumacher North Lectures, along with Susan George. Our parent organisation, TIDAL is one of the partners working with Schumacher North to organise the lectures. You can book tickets now by ringing 0113 8125263 or visiting www.schumacher-north.co.uk
