How do we adopt systemic approaches to environmental and social tipping points that enable East and West to flourish together?
Two communities and two Continents - have been working on the well-being economy from different sides. The ecological capital — climate, nature, biodiversity — has built real momentum. The social equity capital — poverty reduction, gender equity, food systems — has built its own. Systems modelling shows they are not parallel tracks: ecological transitions stall without a functional social foundation. Poverty, inequality, and exclusion are not development problems — they are ecological ones. The social turnarounds are preconditions for the planetary ones. And yet both communities have been solving different halves of the same problem without a shared diagnostic, a shared room, or a shared language to talk to business leaders and wealth holders. This roundtable changes that.
