RSA City and Regional Sustainability Transitions Webinar Series
Policy aimed towards sustainability transitions is beginning to have fundamental effects on how economic activity is organised across cities and regions. Growing calls in the wake of Covid-19 for a ‘green recovery’ heighten the possibilities for radical transformation of economies, albeit with a wide range of potential pathways, from radical degrowth to revamped low carbon capitalism. These changes are prompting reflection from scholars across the field of regional studies and economic geography. How might we better understand the different impacts (and possibilities) of a sustainable (or ‘green’) economy?
This seminar series will invite leading scholars from across these fields to present cutting edge theoretical and empirical work. Through stimulating discussion and debate about ways forward for understanding economic geographies of sustainability transitions, policy and academic communities can be brought together. The webinar series is run by the RSA’s Yorkshire and Humberside Branch and supported by the RSA. It is free and open to all and runs monthly from October to March 2021.
Sustainable Transformation Entry Points: COVID-19, Disruptive Changes, and Post-Pandemic Sustainable Futures
The Regional Studies Association is a registered charity and we support the regional studies community with research grants, networking and publishing opportunities, trainings, knowledge exchange and by awarding excellence in the field.
