Dear GTN Colleagues,<br>
<br>
Thanks to all contributors for your thoughtful comments on the November exchange (archived at <a href="https://greattransition.org/223-corporations-in-the-crosshairs-from-reform-to-redesign" target="_blank">
Corporations in the Crosshairs: From Reform to Redesign</a>
). A representative set is now live on the <a href="https://greattransition.org/" target="_blank">
GTI homepage</a>
, where you will also find a terrific interview with Kate Raworth on her “doughnut economics” and ways to challenge the neoclassical economics paradigm.<br>
<br>
Please help spread word of these publications by sharing, republishing, and blogging about them.<br>
<br>
In January, the GTN discussion—Toward a Great Ethics Transition—will consider the moral and ethical foundations for a Great Transition. Our point of departure will be a reflection on the <a href="https://earthcharter.org/discover/the-earth-charter/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
</a>
<a href="https://earthcharter.org/discover/the-earth-charter/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">
Earth Charter</a>
, which turns twenty in 2020. We will hear from Earth Charter veterans, and also, <b>I hope</b>, from many of you drawing on complementary experiences and approaches. <br>
<br>
The <a href="https://greattransition.org/bulletin-board/" target="_blank">
GTN Bulletin Board</a>
is the place on our site to share news of publications, events, etc., with the 1000+ GT Network (submit info to <a href="mailto:jcohn@tellus.org" target="_blank">jcohn@tellus.org</a>). Recent entries include:<br>
• Ashish Kothari, “Earth Vikalp Sangam: Proposal for a Global Tapestry of Alternatives”<br>
• Conference announcement—The Great Transition International Conference (not formally affiliated with GTI)<br>
• Chico Whitaker, “World Social Forum – Possible Perspectives”<br>
<br>
As a grim year wanes, we can be forgiven a sense of foreboding and despair. Events are painfully confirming a fundamental premise of the Great Transition scenario: Conventional World paths lead to systemic crises and barbarized reaction. Our task and hope is to confirm another fundamental premise—that the crisis will continue to coalesce a mass movement for deep change.<br>
<br>
I wish all of you and yours the best of fortune in the year ahead. <br>
<br>
Onwards,<br>
Paul
