The International Research Lab will convene new economy researchers and thought leaders from around the world and will be an important gathering, helping to root the conference in the research, academic work, and thought leadership needed to guide direction, strategy, and goals. This full-day focused event will open dedicated space for researchers and thought leaders to ask—and take concrete steps to answer—difficult, big-picture questions. For example, this is an opportunity to discuss strategies for addressing climate change while creating a more equitable global economy, the role of capitalism in our vision for the new economy, how we might truly live within planetary bounds, and what the new economy movement has to say about economic growth. The lab will bring together a group of people to share experiences and thinking on how to make systems change work, share lessons learned, and trade ideas about narratives and principles. Participants will work together to identify key leverage points with the potential to shift systems, working together to refine theory of change and core strategies.
