We’re kicking off a new series on Guardian Sustainable Business today looking at the global financial system. We’ll be exploring the connections between finance and its impacts on the world, including a series of “what ifs?”.
The first in the series, published today, looks at the debate around peak globalisation. With world trade contracting, so James Meadway from the New Economics Foundation argues, the UK needs to promote renewables to reduce import dependency and boost regional economic growth.
Next up will be a look at the prospects and implications of a cashless economy, followed by a closer look at how the value of nature is being interpreted by global markets and companies.
As well as following these debates, we’d also like to hear your views. Who would you like to see write for us and on what topics? Are there areas within sustainable finance that deserve more exploration?
Leave us your thoughts in the form or comments section below, drop me an email here or tweet the team at Guardian Sustainable Business @GuardianSustBiz to help kick start the conversation.
UPDATE October 9th: Thank you for all the views sent in using the form below. You can still send them in as we will continue to read any new ones sent in.
