Network Launch - How Do We Want To Live Well Together? A New Eco-Social Contract

Updated: Aug 13

10 Nov 2021, 16:00 – 17:30 CET


UNRISD, together with the Green Economy Coalition (GEC), is proud to announce the launch of a new initiative: the Global Research and Action Network for a New Eco-Social Contract in order to explore the promise of a new eco-social contract as a way of responding to pressing social and ecological challenges.


The network will be a space for dialogue, debate, co-construction and action around the meaning of a new eco-social contract; good practices for its design; and accountability frameworks for its application. It will bring together research, practice, advocacy and policy decision-making communities working for social, climate and environmental justice in a progressive knowledge and action alliance.

The launch will take place at the Bonn Symposium.


  • Date: 10 November 2021

  • Time: 16:00 – 17:30 CET
