Feasta submission on the European Commissions’ Economic Framework Review

This submission recommends that the existing EU economic governance framework be replaced by 'guard rails' that would ensure that environmental limits are not exceeded, and that nobody is put in danger by a rapidly transforming, and at times highly volatile and unstable, economy.

Submission on the draft National Risk Assessment Plan for Ireland

Risks identified in this submission include geopolitical unrest stemming from the climate and biodiversity crises and the decreasing global supply of high-quality oil; an unbalanced banking sector in Ireland; and 'perception risk' arising from ungrounded assumptions about the nature of the economy.
