Global system Change Part 1 – Frank Dixon 800

 In this program, Hazel Henderson discusses a range of global challenges and transition management strategies with Frank Dixon (Harvard MBA), former head of global research with the famed, pioneering social auditing firm Innovest.  They discuss the ways in which global geopolitics is evolving in response to the systemic changes to our planet’s ecosystems due to human activities.  As water shortages, drought, floods and climate disruption effect more countries and populations, decision-makers in business government and civic society are seeing that all these problems are inter-linked.  Frank Dixon’s book, Global System Change, maps these global issues and connects the dots.  At the same time, Henderson points to the same new awareness by over 190 member countries of the United Nations in their 2015 agreement on the 17 issues addressed in their Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  There is now evidence that humans are accepting responsibility for the changes created by unsustainable industrial development and moving toward integrated policies.  These realistic approaches to transition management can lead to cleaner, healthier, more equitable societies on which our survival may depend.  Ethical Markets Transforming Finance Series, @2015
