The COVID-19 pandemic has not only disrupted production chains and health-care systems but also most directly threatens the well-being of the largely-invisible workforce sustaining our societies.
In this special Sustain What takeover, ecological economics scholars Katie Kish, Ph.D., Katharine Zywert and Sophie Sanniti lead a discussion with host Andy Revkin exploring how revaluation of the care economy (teachers, parents, healthcare workers), coupled with a movement toward open-source and free knowledge, can create more resilient production chains and enhance long-term well-being - for both people and the planet.
9:00: Introductions
9:10: Care Introduction - Sophie Sanniti will introduce insights into the need for a strong care economy to promote a more equitable, sustainable, and healthy society.
