Ann Pettifor, the renowned economist and one of the leading figures behind the Green New Deal*, will be speaking to Merton Green Party about her new book  The Global Casino.

The event will be chaired by Professor Nick Robins, a Merton Green Party member who is the co-founder of Planet Tracker, Investor Watch and Carbon Tracker, and Professor in Practice for Sustainable Finance at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at London School of Economics and Political Science.
