<\/a> \u2018Transition\u2019 is defined as \u2018movement, passage, or change from one position, state, to another\u2019, writes Emily Benson, Green Economy Coalition.<\/strong> So, what might the transition pathway from our current economy (one characterised by our dependence on fossil fuels, dominance of the financial markets and increasing inequality) – to an alternative economic model (founded on renewable energies, a different relationship to the natural world, and one that explicitly tackles equity), look like? <\/span>More<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Quote of the day<\/p>\n

We knew the problems, we knew most of the answers – but we failed to scale them up to deliver what was needed.<\/p>\n

Felix Dodds, Executive Director, Stakeholder Forum<\/p>\n

Outreach is a multi-stakeholder magazine which is published daily at Rio+20 Intersessional and Preparatory Meetings. The articles written are intended to reflect those of the authors alone or where indicated a coalition\u2019s opinion. An individual\u2019s article is the opinion of that author alone, and does not reflect the opinions of all stakeholders.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n

What propted your early interest in the environment?<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

About ten years ago, I read a book called Dead Heat: Global Justice and Global Warming by Tom Athanasiou and Paul Baer. It\u2019s a short accessible summary of the science of climate change, and the scale of the challenge. I defy anyone to read it and not feel the urgent need to do something about climate change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
