Webinar on Resilience

Webinar: The Resilience Imperative -

Remaking the CED Agenda?

A discussion with Michael Lewis, co-author, The Resilience Imperative: Cooperative Transitions to a Steady-State Economy

Tuesday, October 16 - 12 pm Eastern ep

Register today for a feature webinar discussion with Michael Lewis on Resiliency – a next step for local economies in the transition to a low-carbon future.

In their new book, The Resilience Imperative, Lewis and co-author Pat Conaty (new economics foundation) show how energy, food, housing, finance, and other sectors familiar to community economic development (CED) practitioners can be reinvented at a more local and regional scale, buffering communities from the economic shocks that the global transition to lower-carbon economies will likely entail.


This 1-hour session will begin with a discussion between Lewis and Mike Toye, Executive Director of the Canadian Community Economic Development Network (CCEDNet). A question and answer period with participants will follow. Participants who register early will be able to send questions in advance of the session.
Cost: CCEDNet members - free; Non-members - $20.
