SUMMARY:Seminar · A Green New Deal to Latin America: Challenges to Brazil
DESCRIPTION:This seminar will discuss the political and economic challenges to implement a Green New Deal in Latin America and in the US. \nAbout this Event\nClimate change is a global phenomenon and demands policy coordination between scholars and policy makers worldwide. Brazil is the 7th largest GHG emitter in the world and the US is the 2nd largest emitter. Although the main emission sources and the challenges differ between those countries\, the solutions should have synergies and follow similar solutions while\, the political movements should cooperate globally. \nIn the US\, we already observe a societal effort towards the energy transition. The US Green New Deal (GND) was established as a program and political movement based on a strong interdisciplinary academic background\, including natural sciences\, sociology\, politics and economics and the Modern Money Theory. In Brazil\, the investment in new renewable energy has increased since 2009. In 2018\, 82% of the electricity was generated by renewable sources. An effort is needed to increase that share\, improve energy efficiency and tackle the amazon increasing deforestation rates. \nThe urgent need of a green economy is also linked to the fight against social inequalities and unemployment. Brazil is now living one of its worst social and economic crisis in history\, and the social claims may be more than ever associated to environmental claims towards a more equitable and prosperous economy. In that sense\, social struggles are part of the debate around a Global Green New Deal. It demands an active State\, regulation and public investments. \nThis seminar will discuss the political and economic challenges to implement a Green New Deal in Latin America and in the US\, comparing the case of Brazil and of the US. The debate is also around how to politically reorganize progressive movements towards an equal and sustainable development. \nSpeakers:\nJaques Wagner (Senator – Brazil): VP for the senate environmental commission in Brazil\, former governor of the State of Bahia and ministry of State during Lula and Dilma governments. \nStephanie Kelton (Stony Brook University): Professor of economics and public policy at Stony Brook University\, Senior economic advisor for Bernie 2020\, author of the book “The Deficit Myth”. \nDaniel Aldana Cohen (University of Pensylvania): Professor of sociology at UPenn\, where he directs the Socio-spatial Climate Collaborative. He coauthored the book “A Planet to Win: why we need a Green New Deal”. \nRandall Wray (Levy Institute): Professor of economics at the Bard College and senior scholar at the Levy Institute. Author from several books including “Modern Money Theory: a primer on Macroeconomics for Sovereign Monetary Systems” \n  \nWednesday\, February 5\, 2020\n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nWolff Conference Room at The New School\n6 E 16th St\, 11th Floor\,\nNew York\, NY 10003\,\nUnited States\nView Map \nThe event will be in English.\nAdmission is free\, but seating is limited.\nReservations are required\, please RSVP here \n  \nPhoto by Tony Perrottet: “Viewing Machine\,” by Danish artist Olafur Eliasson at Inhotim art park
