What is at stake during May’s European Parliament Elections? In this first episode of our short series of podcasts, CONCORD’s Director Tanya Cox urges us to vote for politicians who will rethink our economic system to serve all people and the planet. 

We proudly present Talking Development, our new short podcast series ahead of the European Parliament Elections. We kick off with an interview with the CONCORD’s Director Tanya Cox discussing the need for a radical economic paradigm shift to redirect wealth from the top 1% in order to benefit the well-being of the planet and all people.

 

The wealthy are getting wealthier and the poor are getting left further and further behind. I think it is time to face facts now – society and the environment are really suffering from this economic model.
