My journey to the Social and Solidarity Economy

In 2012, Peter Utting, then Deputy-Director of UNRISD, went to Rio De Janeiro to attend the session on green economy at Rio +20 to make a speech on social dimensions of green economy which was an output of the UNRISD research project on Social Dimensions of Green Economy and Sustainable Development (2011-2012). And he seemed to encounter a perfect political economy model very much aligned with what he had been arguing for: moving away from “business as usual”, solidarity, democracy within and beyond organizations, and social movement etc.
