Why is the economy hooked on growth - and what’s it costing us?
Our GDP is high, but our social indicators are some of the worst in the world. Something’s not right.
What if we could build societies that thrive without wrecking the planet? Degrowth is a bold call to downscale overproduction and overconsumption, especially in the Global North, while building economies rooted in care, sufficiency, and justice.
This session breaks down the basics: why degrowth matters, what it actually means, how it can work, and what degrowth policies could look like, and how you can get involved in this movement to build and advocate for a better world for all.
