Over three plenary sessions we invite academics, activists, campaigners, unions and policy makers to debate alternative policies to promote jobs, justice and a safe climate.
Smaller breakout sessions will give you the opportunity to take part in more focused debates on the linkages between the economy, environment and international development and in addition, discuss how we can mobilise and turn our ideas into action.
The Counter Conference is part of a series of events happening in London that week in reaction to the G20 finance ministers’ summit.
The Counter Conference will be preceded by a policy conference Recovery towards what? Finance, justice, sustainability hosted by the TUC at the Congress Centre, including a public event on the evening of the 6 November with high level political speeches.
