Best of #BeyondGrowth 2023 - Vandana Shiva

Dr. Vandana Shiva is a physicist, social and environmental activist, ecofeminist and anti-globalisation author. Forbes magazine in November 2010 has identified her as one of the top Seven most Powerful Women on the Globe. She was invited to the Beyond Growth Conference to talk about her inspiring vision on nature restoration and biodiversity protection, in a beyond growth perspective.

The Beyond Growth 2023 Conference is a multi-stakeholder event aiming to discuss and co-create policies for sustainable prosperity in Europe, based on a systemic and transformative approach to economic, social and environmental sustainability and its encompassing governance framework.

We aimed to challenge conventional policy-making in the European Union and to redefine societal goals across the board, in order to move away from the harmful focus on the sole economic growth – that is, the growth of GDP – as the basis of our development model. The conference put into practice the idea of a post-growth future-fit EU that combines social well-being and viable economic development with the respect of planetary boundaries.

This three days major event is a cross-party initiative of 20 Members of the European Parliament, supported by a wide-range of partner organisations, which follows the success of the Post-Growth 2018 conference. The conference offered an opportunity for discussion across institutional boundaries and with European citizens. It involved stakeholders from EU and national policymaking, academia, social partners, businesses and civil society organisations.

As it aimed to discuss the future of European citizens, it took place in their house, in the European Parliament (Brussels’ site) from the 15th to the 17th May 2023.

Half a quadrillion dollars of global assets, versus, the affirmation of life and humanity living in equilibrium. The success of one is the death of the other. Shall we begin?

She is talking to evil people wanting the opposite of what she wants.

I would really like to hear this intelligent woman speak explicitly against BlackRock Vanguard etc role in the commodification of refugees/children in the larger 'childcare' centres and in schools/the disabled
via billionaires' impact markets.
Shiva has an influence and 'reach'
that could help parents (who are not given a chance of informed consent) to become aware that multi-purpose 'education'-tech uses children for impact markets/robotics research and development/'humanising' Ai systems. This is commodification/unwaged child labour in 'educational'/'care' settings. Globally.
Adults need to speak explicitly against human capital futures trading/
modern slavery.

We ARE nature and this commodification of vulnerable communities (without consent) matters just as much as the vicious colonisation projects such as the financialisation of nature (the 'Crown-heads' of Europe - with the Vatican Bank/World etc - are pushing all these projects).

Adults need to speak out to protect the rights of children to 'reality-privelige', to their birthright as children of the earth.
