in a green economic future. But what would it look like? IDEAS host

moderates a debate at the University of Ottawa on the resolution: Be it
resolved that building an environmentally sustainable society will
require an end to economic growth. Participants include
Peter Victor, author of

Richard Lipsey, one of Canada's pre-eminent economists, and
