How can we create systemic change to tackle today’s severe environmental and social crises? In March, we explored the opportunities presented by the ‘Circular Economy’. Next, we will be taking a deep dive into the ‘Symbiotic Economy’, a new economic paradigm that could regenerate our endangered planet. On 2 April 2019, join us for "Building a Sustainable Future: Exploring a Symbiotic Economy", hosted by L'Institut Français du Japon and Social Innovation Japan!Isabelle Delannoy, renowned environmentalist, writer and co-author of the film “Home”, will introduce the concept of a ‘Symbiotic Economy’ - a new, sustainable economic model promoting a symbiotic relationship (mutually positive growth) between flourishing natural ecosystems and intense human activity, across all economic fields. On this visit to Japan, she will share the key themes and messages from her critically acclaimed book, "Une Economie Symbiotique". “Ten years ago I started searching for ways to solve the ongoing environmental crisis. What I found is that, around the world, a new form of economy is emerging, which is capable of regenerating its own resources. You’ll find it in the sphere of the living (with permaculture and agroecology), in social systems (shared governance experiments), and industry (with a circular economy based on the “access” to goods rather than their possession). Underlying these experiments you’ll find the same logic, which is perfectly described by a term borrowed from biology: symbiosis." - Excerpt from an interview with Philonomist magazine.Following this, Tsuyoshi Kawakami - Principal Fellow at the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) - will provide comments on Isabelle's talk and explore the current and future prospects of circular and symbiotic economy models in Japan, before opening up to questions from the audience.Speaker ProfilesIsabelle Delannoy A trained agricultural engineer, Isabelle Delannoy is a sustainable development specialist and is one of the thought leaders behind the ‘symbiotic economy’, an economic model that allows humans and ecosystems to live in harmony.
