   Good morning everyone. The second day of the #BeyondGrowth conference is starting. Being in the UK, I'm an hour delayed so I will start micro-blogging a bit later and miss the first speakers.
   Here is the link to follow the plenary session this morning:

     He acknowledges what they've done so far but there is an urgent need to do more, but they need a new language to talk to all their stakeholders and have them on board.
     He also acknowledges how the risk of the reverse is very high

     Day 2 - Plenary 1
     Virginijus Sinkevicius
     'Our linear economy model is not leading us anywhere'
     He is also the first talking about ecodesign paradigm, which - as a designer - I am sceptical really a lot, but some ideas like a design passport for products are interesting and worth to be explored more in depth

     Day 2 - Plenary 1
     Yamina Saheb opens the day addressing a crucial concept: 'Sufficiency' and why it needs to be embedded into policies

     'Sufficiency will lead to a new economy, it about protecting the most vulnerable ones'
     'It will lead in a decrease of energy dependence'

     @timparrique
     'The best way to 'green' growth is to take growth away'

     Highly quotable as usual :)
