Meet Gaya Herrington (@gayaherrington.bsky.social), sustainability researcher and well-being economist, at this year's Nexus Conference! Saturday 22 November 2025 in Amsterdam. nexus-instituut.nl/activity/apo...

Looking forward to the Nexus conference this November in the Amsterdam Opera House. Nexus is not the average event with name tags and panel discussions. It's an "intellectual opera" between thinkers from all over the spectrum, including this year also VP Mike Pence and @mamphelaramphele.bsky.social

Is growth the obvious way to eliminate poverty? Economist Herman Daly realised it wasn't.

Our military deserves better than this empty charade. Yikes. The tank squeaking over silence is incredible.

2 weeks ago I used my keynote speech for the Sustainable Finance Summit in Montreal, Canada, to talk to bankers, CFOs, and investors about limits to growth.

Did they boo me off the main stage? You can now check for yourself: youtu.be/kfNRfpQnlGQ?...

"Is investment a claim to future profit, or a commitment to a common future? Is ownership a right to do with something as one pleases or a responsibility of care?"
I spoke about #limitstogrowth, a #wellbeingeconomy and #degrowth in my keynote at the Sustainable Finance Summit in Montréal last week.

The podcast featuring my talk with former Toronto mayor David Miller is now live. I love how the C40 team blended it together with truth bombs from the inspiring Mayor Aki-Sawyerr. Thank you for holding the line, @c40cities.bsky.social

Anyone working in systems change knows this moment in history is about being half hospice and half midwife. The old system is dying, and the new one is coming into existence. It's a painful experience (as I after two home births can attest to). But the outcome is what we've been waiting for. #Banksy

Maybe you're right. Enormous inequality and overconsumption seem to have made you such a peacefully happy person, after all.

"There was a time" when the WaPo was trying to "cover all views". Now it's a full-blown propaganda machine.

What's the role of business in economic systems change? In this new podcast episode, I talk about the tension that comes with being part of a system that creates results nobody wants, the fear of being placed outside of it, and why connecting with others is key. impactlabs.earth/reboot-busin...

Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up.

I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

Measuring progress by how many girls ride their bikes to school. Simple single number, still better than GDP. My buddy Katherine Trebeck wrote a blog last month for the Earth all Commission of the @clubofrome.org about indicators for a better world. Worth a read.

The current economic system is at its breaking point. This was forewarned, including by the authors of the 1970s book The Limits to Growth. Breakdown doesn't mean the end of humanity. So we'll need a new and better system afterwards. My proposal: a #wellbeingeconomy youtu.be/JfeRLwlnuHo?...
