RSVP for this event This event is now full but you may request to go on a waitlist.
The School of Government and MartinJenkins are delighted to invite you to the launch event of the newly published book “Intergenerational Wellbeing and Public Policy – An Integrated Environmental, Social, and Economic Framework” by Girol Karacaoglu, Jacek B. Krawczyk, and Anita King.
In their book Anita, Girol and Jacek propose that the purpose of public policy is to improve and sustain intergenerational wellbeing. The authors discuss and formulate an integrated environmental, social, and economic framework to serve the purpose of improving wellbeing. Furthermore, they propose how to tackle radical uncertainty and resilience in the formulation and implementation of public policy, with the substantive involvement of the affected communities.
Join us to hear the authors provide an overview of themes from their published work, followed by a discussion on wellbeing and public policy with an expert panel. Refreshments will be served before the presentation and after the panel discussion.
