Current Projects and Activities

In particular the trusts main projects at the moment are:

Corruption and transparency

We are publishing several books on corruption and transparency with our sister organisation the Green Economics Institute and GEIBooks. This follows the wonderful first book on Corruption by Dr Enrico Tezza (Academia, and the International Labour Organisation, Italy) and Dr Lavinia Tezza (Italy) which was very well received and timely.

We are also in the process of publishing a book on the effects of Covid 19 on the agricultural sector particularly in India by a large group of Indian academics led by Professor Ehtisham Abassi. (India and Morocco).

Education for Economics Reform, Development of Green Economics and its Philosophy, has been our leading innovation for 20 years with our teams and partners and we have published over 20 papers, books and much more as well as giving speeches and providing input to all sorts of discuss

We have been active in health issues, care issues our books and education has been used by several governments around the world.

Leading via our official delegation to the United Nations in solutions to stop rnnaway climate change, changing economics to ensure no one gets left behind including gender and minority and indigenous issues and also creating understanding of human health, mental health, gender perspectives.

The Reality of species and human mobility and migration

We also work on the history and background of inclusion, access and migration.Migration has been normal for all species and also for humans for 1000s of years. It wont ever stop and any attempt to halt is is doomed to cause suffering and failure. Now that climate change has got going there will be much more of it for all sorts of reasons and denying this will never stop it and so its much better to understand and educate people about how this works. All of us are children of migrants over the recent millenia.

Environmental Justice and Education

We are extremely active on trying to reverse and stop runnaway climate change and are leading members of the COP United Nations organisations sending regular delegations, running Official Side Events and having exhibition stands for up to 2 weeks at a time and with a large number of official delegates from all over the world including many indigenous representatives too from our diverse teams. Please email us if you would like to help, donate, volunteer or take part in any way.

We work on environmental Justice and are active members of the United Nations IPBES initiative sending regular delegations there to its meetings and contributing to work and discussions and expertise of scientific conferences as well as running our own conferences on biodiversity, ecosystems and habitat as well as Nuturing Nature which are very popular both on line and in person. Please email us if you would like to get involved.

We work advising governments and Ministers all over the world about what is possible and likely in the next few years. We are currently working on how to move everyone to halving their use of carbon equivalent per person per year by 2025 in the run up to a zero carbon world and the economics implications of that change.
