Anniversary Event, 1 October 21
From INDEL to today’s NADEL: Celebrate our 50th anniversary with us!
If we are serious about rethinking global cooperation, we have to challenge our current thinking and question assumptions. Our guests at NADEL 50 Years will do exactly that.
Physicist and activist Rose M. Mutiso will offer new perspectives on how global cooperation and local activism can avert the impending energy apartheid and foster equality while reducing humanity’s global footprint.
Economist and international policy advisor François Bourguignon, author of “The Globalization of Inequality”, reflects on how global inequalities have evolved, and what policies are needed in the future.
