We invite folks to join us for a conversation on Redesigning Money for Sustainability. This hybrid / virtual discussion will focus on the work of Alf Hornborg, who has shown how general-purpose money (or all-purpose money) drives unsustainable industrial culture and why the design of money must change to enable transformation to sustainable culture.

As a key issue for COP27, with climate impacts proliferating around the world and affecting the most vulnerable, the integration of the Loss&Damage policy domain into broader climate policy requires further attention. The brief lays out a framework that shows how gaps with regard to adaptation, protection and response need further attention and can be integrated into a climate policy framework for reducing, addressing and responding to losses and damages. When attending to gaps, attention is to be spent on scaling up response mechanisms and interventions that have proven to be effective, are locally led, and meet the specific needs of the communities they support.

Ensuring wellbeing and access to essential and social services is why society requires materials and energy. The seminar organized by IIASA and RITE discussed different aspects of technological, social, and infrastructural innovations that can deeply reduce demand for energy and stimulate a just transition to net-zero societies.

Co-organized by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), the Research Institute of Innovative Technology for the Earth (RITE), and Development Alternatives (DA) under the umbrella of EDITS, the event took place on November 10, 2022, as an official side-event of the UNFCCC COP27. The high-level meeting addressed innovations for energy demand reduction, decarbonization of the urban environment and the construction sector, and pathways toward a net-zero society.
