Since summer 2023, we at the Club of Rome – Austrian Chapter have been working on an Austria-wide campaign to implement a positive vision of the necessary transformation or, as written in the “Earth4All” report, a “Giant Leap” in Austria.
The basic prerequisite for this turnaround is a radical expansion of the political scope. In addition to massive changes in global finance, trade and technology exchange, an economic model must be established that allows low-income countries to increase their growth in order to rapidly reduce poverty in an environmentally friendly and fair manner in combination with the other turnarounds.
Earth4All (2022)
Low-income countries need fundamental measures to achieve a turnaround in poverty:
- Expanding the political scope for action and curbing debt
- Transforming the financial architecture and reshaping the global trade architecture
- Improving access to technologies – skipping development stages
On this page, we document relevant events and workshops, publish interviews and contributions by qualified authors and will soon also present what we as the Club of Rome/Earth4All see as the consequences for Austria. We see all of this as contributions to a process that we believe should be initiated in Austria in the sense of a “turnaround on poverty”.
