MAIN STAGE | Day 1 | A Tantalizing Prospect

About this event

This session explores the promise and tantalizing possibility of new approaches to economics that put people and planet first. It considers how prevailing economic systems fail us and what ‘better’ looks like. It invites the public to ponder: - What if investing in people & nature is the biggest economic opportunity of our time? - What if our economies nurtured rather than exploited people and nature? - What if economics were about nurturing abundance and wellbeing rather than managing scarcity? - How would we rethink value, wealth, metrics of success? Each evening on the main stage, we feature the following: 🎭 Art & Culture Performance (15 min) A showcase celebrating Thailand's Climate Story — 7 Regions, 1 Action.
