Beyond corona recovery: we need a new normal!
Manage episode 313515752 series 3274113
"A new normal", "green recovery", "bailout people". These calls from activists, scientists and citizens to radically change our societies and economies post coronavirus have been heard all around the world.
At a time when billions are literally poured into world's economies to prevent them from collapsing could this be an "opportunity" to radically change and finally put sustainability for the planet and people at the heart of our concerns?
But where does this money come from? How is it going to be distributed? Are we going to have to pay for it through decades long debt? And can we really prevent job losses and invest in a sustainable future at the same time?
In this very first episode of the Burning Case, we discuss all these questions and what a post corona world could look like, especially in the EU with Mika Leandro, campaigner at WeMove, Nieneke van den Akker, healthcare worker and Tuesday Sumortin, flight attendant.
