It insists on a timescale that cuts carbon emissions in half, within the current decade; demands radical shifts into a more \u2018circular\u2019 economics, putting back more than we take out; and a vision that runs beyond obsessions with individual technologies. Instead, Alan focuses on the \u2018systems\u2019 that tomorrow\u2019s inclusive security must be built around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs ever, Alan brings a big picture vision wrapped up in glittering examples of what transformation means in practice. From communities, to cities to whole countries, there is no wrong place to start, no part of the economy that doesn\u2019t need to be turned upside down and rethought.\u201d Clive Lewis MP <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alan Simpson was MP for Nottingham South before leaving to work on climate issues. He was advisor on sustainable economics to John McDonnell when he was Shadow Chancellor. Alan still dreams of saving the planet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This event was streamed live via Zoom on July 19 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alan\u2019s pamphlet, &#8220;Rescuing the Green New Deal&#8221;, is available from our webshop at: <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa25Yd2NJU29yREo2dGI4cXJpc2JhZFMwYnAxZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttWTg2MEV3OWlBTkc0QnhHSGdIZVdEMXh5Qmt6UGdtaG1oSGdHcDBXSXRlM0I3d1FKWU9zeDZkQzRqUTFESkpSUTh1aEp6NFZQOGgtQ1pWQmxmbHBCTUIyWmVkMmJhWF9KLWswXzlsYThuRXl1cHRBbw&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ffiveleavesbookshop.co.uk%2Fproduct%2Frescuing-the-green-new-deal%2F\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/fiveleavesbookshop.co.uk\/prod&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preventing cheap politics from sinking the planet\u2026 Alan discusses his pamphlet &#8211; a challenge to all who champion a visionary &#8216;New Deal&#8217;.
