This session was streamed as part of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s Summit 19 event, held on the 13th June 2019.
What is the Green New Deal and why is it generating so much buzz across the US? One of the paper's authors, Rhiana Gunn-Wright, who works for the think tank New Consensus, joined the Foundation's Ashima Sukhdev on stage to dig deeper into the topic.
