As we all grapple with the threats posed by the climate crisis, economists, politicians, and everyday people outside the ivory tower are searching for a way forward. The Degrowth movement offers a solution that challenges the traditional pursuit of perpetual economic growth as the ultimate goal for society. Instead, it proposes a steady state economy that prioritizes social and ecological well-being over economic growth, calling for a fundamental rethinking of our approach to the economy.
In today's episode, Sofia and JP will delve into the reasons why he believes that Degrowth is the way forward. They will also explore the steps that are being taken in this direction to achieve a more sustainable and equitable economic system. Stay tuned for our next episode on Green Growth and decide for yourself.
