Economic localization: the most strategic path to a healthy future
Local Futures has been raising awareness for four decades about the need to shift direction – away from dependence on global monopolies, and towards decentralised, regional economies. Building on its networking and movement-building endeavours over four decades, the three-day Planet Local Summit will be the biggest and most international event yet.
The overwhelmingly positive response already received affirms the great need for such a summit. This is shaping up to be the seminal ‘coming-of-age’ event for our worldwide movement.
It will bring together leading figures from all over the world who – despite their diverse disciplines – are now converging on economic localization as the most strategic path to a healthy future.
A remarkable number of confirmed speakers – cutting-edge thinkers and activists from across the planet – are listed, with brief biographies. They include George Ferguson, Vandana Shiva, Helena Norberg-Hodge (Local Futures co-founder), Manish Jain, Daniel Christian Wahl, Michael Shuman, Keibo Oiwa, Ella Noah Bancroft, Alnoor Ladha and Rob Hopkins.

Venue: St George’s Bristol, from September 29 to October 1, 2023
