As the climate and ecological crisis challenges traditional economic models, a growing debate has emerged: should we pursue green growth through innovation and efficiency, or embrace degrowth to stay within planetary boundaries? This panel will bring together experts to explore these contrasting visions. The discussion will examine the trade-offs, values, and systemic changes needed to build an economy that supports both human well-being and ecological balance.
