Happy to see the enquiry.
Agree absolutely on a need to question wider scope of what is being financed, why and for what goals.
But let’s be honest that we have chosen this flawed model of money creation, which then narrows who decides on investments and then profits.
This is misleading @NZStuff
“Banks make a margin from lending money… that has been sourced from investors and depositors.”
We actually give private banks a monopoly on creating money out of thin air, which they then make profits on.
We don’t have to!

Good news: Thriving Communities is launching a new project - #Placemaking for Citizen-led Missions in SE Europe.
We will be delivering local placemaking processes in Slovenia, Croatia and Sicily; plus capacity building events on how placemaking can help to unlock radical change.
In summary:
Climate Neutral #MissionCities rough business case
377 #cities
75 million citizens
EUR 750 billion investment needed by 2030
EU 2+ trillion economic upside
940k jobs/year to 2030
All depends on helping cities access EUR 3.8 billion activation funding right now
For example. Our work shows that #Slovenia can be billions of euros wealthier by 2030 with radical #ClimateAction
This opportunity could be lost.
Fast work is needed to understand where the collective response to covid is failing, so we can do much better on the next challenge
Yes,
I am worried about my daughter getting a full year of school (and a little for her health).
I am sad for the people who, for good reasons, can’t get a jab and are left vulnerable by others.
I’m most worried about the implications for #collective_action🧵…
#Slovenia has 1,000,000 unused #COVID#vaccines, and a big surplus since June. About 50% of population is still unvaccinated.
At what point should valuable vaccines be given to other #communities that will actually use them?
Suggest 1 November.

In Europe #Covid is now an immediate problem with a clear collective solution. Everyone who can, should get vaccinated & everyone will be better off.
Much greater challenges face us- eg. if we can’t get together & each do our part on solving this, how will we do climate action?
