Katherine Trebeck

In this episode we are joined by Catherine Trebeck, an advocate
for economic system change and co-founder of the Wellbeing
Economy Alliance. Catherine shares her journey from working in
international trade to advocating for a wellbeing economy,
inspired by a conversation with a lecturer who encouraged her to
look upstream and question the political economy. Catherine
reflects on the power of understanding our common humanity and
the importance of recognizing our shared needs and values. She
emphasizes the need for a broader base in the economic change
movement and the importance of making connections between our
common human needs and the economic system. Catherine envisions
an economic system that delivers collective wellbeing for people
and the planet, where businesses are owned locally, energy
systems are renewable, housing is energy efficient, and prices
reflect the true costs of goods. She encourages us to recognize
and celebrate our common humanity and to lead with empathy,
compassion, and solidarity.
