The AdaptEconII team organised a final conference in Reykjavik, Iceland, on the 27th of August. The event was dedicated to A New Economy for the 21st Century and had the valuable input of several of the Wellbeing Economy Alliance fellows. The conference – hosted at the University of Iceland – was open to the public and lasted the whole day. It was divided into four main parts, namely i)natural resources and infrastructure; ii)societal impacts; iii)the new economy and modelling and iv)what to measure. The format of the event consisted of Early Stage Researchers, supervisors and WEAll fellows presenting up to 12 minutes. Each part of the conference was followed by a panel discussion, with questions from the Chairs and the audience.
All presentations can be found online on AdaptEconII’s YouTube channel. In presentation order, they were as follows:
