10.6.2024 – 22.10.2024 (Ilmoittautuminen käynnissä)
Description
Are you fed up with the current situation and tired of the dystopian future images that the media is offering? To build better futures we need to take time and imagine the preferred futures.
What would the carbon-neutral sustainable economy futures look like?
Imagine a future where carbon neutrality and sustainability are the backbone of the economy. Businesses operate in harmony with the environment, relying on renewable resources and eco-friendly practices. Jobs are created in clean energy and sustainable industries, contributing to both economic growth and environmental preservation.
Join us in envisioning this brighter, greener future!
The EconomyGreens in Finland (TalousVihreät) wants to strengthen the discussion about the preferred futures of a carbon neutral Finland and these futures workshops will give you tools and perspectives for that.
The EconomyGreens in Finland organizes these workshops with the support of Visio (Visiotuki).
