Green House Think Tank

Politics, they say, is the art of the possible. But the possible is not fixed. What we believe is possible depends on our knowledge and beliefs about the world. Ideas can change the world, and Green House is about challenging the ideas that have created the world we live in now, and offering positive alternatives.

The problems we face are systemic, and so the changes we need to make are complex and interconnected. Many of the critical analyses and policy prescriptions that will be part of the new paradigm are already out there. Our aim is to communicate them more clearly, and more widely.

On 19 December we organised a Panel debate with the Green European Foundation called Beyond Growth and De-growth. The Panel included Tim Jackson of the Green House Advisory Group, Molly Scott Cato from Green House, Aurelie Marechal advisor to the Green MEP Philippe Lamberts, and Dr Hermann Ott, a Green member of the German Parliament. You can find a fuller account of the meeting on the Green European Foundation website here. A video of the event is available here while the launch of Green House's latest paper, Joined up Economics, which also took place at the event, is here.

On 13th October 2012, Green House held a very successful conference called 'The Future of Green Politics'. Speakers included Roger Scruton, Michael Jacobs, Caroline Lucas and Andrew Dobson. You can read a fuller report here. An audio recording of the morning session is available here.
