New statesmanJoining Environment Editor Philippa Nuttall in Brussels is Keith Raworth, the economist who coined the concept of the “doughnut economy”; Tim Jackson, British economist at the University of Surrey; and Sandrine Dixon-Deklev, co-president of the Club of Rome.
This special edition of the World Review is produced with the support of the Club of Rome and the BMW Foundation.
