Rhiana Gunn-Wright, Green New Deal | Summit 2019
June 21, 2019
What is the Green New Deal and why is it generating so much buzz across the US? One of the paper's authors, Rhiana Gunn-Wright, who works for the think tank New Consensus, joined the Foundation's Ashima Sukhdev on stage to dig deeper into the topic. Why try to tackle to macro issues in climate change and inequality at the same time? How do you build collaboration around a clear goal? Isn't this all just a reaction to the current US administration? Rhiana answers those questions and more over the course of a sparky 15-minute conversation. Thank you for watching this video.
