Conference calls for "economy of life"

The “Economy of Life in a Time of Pandemic” online conference focused on the socio-economic-ecological impacts of the COVID-19 crisis and how it offers the world an opportunity to rethink and reshape financial and economic systems to prioritize the health and well-being of communities and the planet.

Chris Ferguson, general secretary of the World Communion of Reformed Churches, stressed that the current global scenario calls us “to show up and carry forward the core visions and core themes of the New International Financial and Economic Architecture (NIFEA), and that these have to necessarily be transformational.”

“We need to raise the questions about debt and taxation. Our next steps, including our short-term steps, cannot be less than radical,” Ferguson said.
