📉 The Case for Degrowth

A careful guided tour through the degrowth debate. 'Economic growth has pushed the planetary system to its limits, or past them' — and there is no growth on a dead planet. The idea that we could 'decouple' growth from emissions and biodiversity loss is, this argues, at best a distraction and at worst a form of denial. To save the planet, we may need to shrink our economies intentionally, prioritising equity and sustainability over expansion — engaging fairly with the objections along the way.
