Samtalet är på engelska. This conversation is held in English.
Degrowth may be broadly described as an umbrella term that critiques the centrality of economic growth in contemporary societies and embraces various alternatives for ecological sustainability, social justice and human flourishing.
As a social movement, it brings together activists, non-governmental organisations, researchers, radical politicians and decision-makers. At grassroots level, care, mutual aid and democratic decision-making are the guiding principles. At the political level, shorter working hours, alternative measures of prosperity instead of GDP, basic income and green tax reform are some of the policies discussed.
In this conversation we discuss how and why degrowth (nerväxt) is an important part of climate change. The conversation is lead by Cecilia “Cia” Paulsson from RåFilm and Scenario 2030, and was held at Nordic Labour Film Festival, November 7th 2022.
