MFC among leaders promoting sustainable economy

The CEO of Microfinance Centre, Katarzyna Pawlak (MBA), has joined the Barcelona Action Circle on Post-Growth Finance as an expert in sustainable finance and microfinance. This initiative, organized by Research & Degrowth International (Barcelona) and the Sustainable Finance Lab (Utrecht), brings together leaders and experts to promote a fair and sustainable economy.

The Action Circle includes notable members such as Hans Stegeman, chief economist at Triodos Bank; Laura Ortiz Montemayor, founder of SVX MX / SVX México; and Lucie Pinson, founder of Reclaim Finance – ONG. They will discuss how the financial sector can support a thriving global economy without relying on continuous economic growth, which is strongly correlated with GHG emissions.

From June 2024 to June 2025, the Circle will gather 15 stakeholders in virtual meetings and an in-person gathering in Barcelona to create a network, formulate action agreements, and develop policy proposals for a sustainable post-growth transition. The project is funded by Triodos Bank and Patagonia.

Stay tuned for updates on this initiative and its progress.
