Today’s global economy is built on a growth-fuelled industrial and financial system with immense productive capacity, but its extractive logic has created extreme wealth inequality, social injustice, and ecological devastation. At the heart of the transition to a new economy lies the commons: the wealth we inherit and create together.

NENA’s second annual conference “Strengthening the New Economy for the Common Good”, invites people to come together to share stories of success, address challenges and join the broader movement, to appreciate our shared purpose and create transformative approaches to a fairer and ecologically sustainable economy and society.

The 2018 New Economy Conference offers the opportunity to share and launch new collective strategies for creating positive social and economic change by bringing together people and communities who are working to strengthen the commons through better food systems, co-operative enterprise and innovative legal models that protect the rights of nature and ensure a just transition for people and the planet now, and into the future.

KEY DATES

• Conference is hosted Friday 19th to Sunday 21st October, and includes a Friday evening event
• Side events will be held on Saturday evening 20^th October and in and around Melbourne on Monday 22nd October

TICKETING POLICY 

NENA recognises that the commons is strengthened only when people from diverse backgrounds, including socio-economic status, work together in solidarity. We all need a new economy that promotes the flourishing of humans and the environment in which we live, but some of us struggle more in the current economy more than others.
