"Anyone who believes that exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist."-Kenneth Boulding

Degrowth is an idea that critiques the global capitalist system which pursues growth at all costs, causing human exploitation and environmental destruction. The degrowth movement of activists and researchers advocates for societies that prioritize social and ecological well-being instead of corporate profits, over-production and excess consumption.

This requires radical redistribution, reduction in the material size of the global economy, and a shift in common values towards care, solidarity and autonomy. Degrowth means transforming societies to ensure environmental justice and a good life for all within planetary boundaries.

Join us in exploring how we can bring the ideas of degrowth to life in our daily lives, communities, and cities.
