Steve Waygood (a former student at the University and now head of GRI at Aviva) is to present a public lecture in CES as part of the Ecological Economics module run by Prof Jackson. Steve will outline how the capital markets currently work, why they undermine sustainable development, why it is in our financial interests that this changes, and how the markets could be changed so that they capitalise a green economy.
