This project investigates and visualises the legal and financial structure of RWE, one of Europe’s biggest polluters. This visualisation serves as a case study to illustrate how polluters use building blocks of the law to privatise profits, minimise taxes and shirk their environmental and social responsibilities. Through research, workshops and in-depth conversations, we identify the legal avenues available to hold such companies accountable and pinpoint the weaknesses in our international legal system. The findings of this research are translated into visual language, simple texts and practical tools.
Economic transition: the costs and benefits of (in)action
What does an economy look like that focuses not on GDP growth, but on well-being, ecology and justice?
What is needed to achieve this sustainable economy and how is our current economic system holding back these changes?
We are exploring these questions from a practical perspective as part of the program: ‘Economic transition: the costs and benefits of (in)action’. Together with partners from academia, the professional sector, government and social movements, we are working to shape this transition, set it in motion and anchor it. In doing so, we actively apply knowledge in practice to bring about a transformation of our current economic system.
