    There are alternatives to the KP! That was the title of the press conference that IIMT organized on December 8 at the Desierto media center. The PowerPoint, press release and media advisory can be found at the timun.net website. Also there is the OPED article entitled “Creative Destruction” sent to the NY Times.

    We have to start thinking of greening the international monetary system by basing it on a carbon-standard that would help to combat the climate crisis by advancing low carbon, climate resilient development. Also this new global monetary governance system is able to create liquidity for worthwhile climate and development projects.
