World Localization Day Series Part 1 of 4: The Global Economy with Helena Norberg-Hodge and Morag Gamble
Welcome to the first of this special 4 part series on Sense-Making in a Changing World podcast. I am talking with a pioneer of the new economy movement - internationally claimed localisation activist Helena Norberg-Hodge. She initiated a global celebration of World Localization Day which is being celebrated on 21 June in 2022, but we are celebrating all month with weekly episodes with Helena.
Helena is the founder and Director of Local Futures, an international nonprofit organisation dedicated to renewing ecological and social wellbeing by strengthening communities and local economies worldwide.
Helena's first book Ancient Futures has been translated into 40 languages and sold over 1 million copies. She's been the subject of hundreds of articles and written many books, including her latest book, Local is Our Future: Steps to an Economics of Happiness, which accompanies her award-winning documentary, also called the Economics of Happiness. Helena has just released a new film, Planet Local: A Quiet Revolution
Helena's work spans almost five decades and she collaborates with leading ecological thinkers. She's been the recipient of a Right Livelihood Award, also known as the alternative Nobel Peace Prize and also the Goi Peace Prize for contributing to “the revitalization of cultural and biological diversity, and the strengthening of local communities and economies worldwide.”
I first met Helena back in 1992 at Schumacher College, and was absolutely inspired by the work that she was doing and subsequently volunteered with her in Ladakh (Little Tibet).
