Principle of CharityCan Degrowth Save the Planet?In this episode we’re joined by economist Gene Tunny and activist-scholar Anitra Nelson to ask whether degrowth can save the planet, or if we should stay the current economic course. As recently as 150 years ago, pretty much everyone was living in what we’d now call extreme poverty. Thanks to capitalism, that rate is now just 9%, with a reduction of 38% in the last 30 years alone. So what’s the problem? Well, for one thing, we’ve been plundering the natural world to fuel our growth, with little regard for its limitations...2024-10-2855 min

InevitableDegrowth with Timothée ParriqueToday's guest is Timothée Parrique, a researcher in ecological economics at Lund University in Sweden. Degrowth is one school of thought in the path towards decarbonization, but the topic is rife with controversy. Proponents argue against growing economies and instead shrinking production and consumption while favoring sustainability, social justice, democracy, and well-being. In other words, instead of measuring GDP as a monetary or market value, those who advocate for degrowth measure health and happiness. Skeptics aren’t convinced. Can degrowth be a powerful lever for change and is it realistic given the way some societies are stru...2022-08-221h 08

SolaceneDegrowth & Strategy: how to bring about social-ecological transformationThis special edition of Solacene is an interview with two of the editors of the new book, Degrowth and Strategy: how to bring about social-ecological transformation. A throw-back to our first semester all about Degrowth, this conversation discusses practical solutions to the social and ecological challenges of today. I encourage you to check out the link to the free PDF of this significant work or purchase a copy through the second link below. This book was a long time in the making so its release is a celebration for all involved, and the degrowth movement as a whole.

Cultures of Energy209 - Degrowth (feat. Timothée Parrique)Dominic and Cymene share first impressions of Honolulu and query why there are chickens everywhere. Then (16:50) we are thrilled to welcome economist Timothée Parrique (https://timotheeparrique.com @timparrique) to the podcast to bring us up to speed with the latest news from ecological economics and its signature degrowth paradigm. We start with the basics. There’s more talk about degrowth now than ever before. But what are degrowth proponents really advocating? Timothée explains how degrowth is not meant to deprive poorer countries of prosperity, it’s best understood as a diet for countries already overshooting the world’s ecolog...2022-06-261h 14

she drives mobilityHow to degrowth car-mobility - and regain liveable cities and regions.
Over the last 16 months, Degrowth Vienna, an austrian collective, has been working on a book in collaboration with over forty authors from both academic and activist contexts. It deals with the core question of how a socio-ecological transformation can be achieved and will be published in about two months. The book is an essential contribution to current debates on degrowth and socio-ecological transformation, in which the question of strategy has often been neglected. My guest John is PhD Candidate at the Central European University and Junior Fellow at the Centre for Economic and Regional Studies.

Capitalist growth is destroying our life support systems. Every single year the material taken from the Earth to feed the insatiable capitalist appetite for profits grows larger and larger and the waste spewing into the atmosphere, land, rivers, and sea grows bigger and bigger. The latest IPCC reports make clear that we have "a brief and rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all".

Klimazone#22 Halliki Kreinin und Pedram Dersch über DegrowthWie können wir mit Degrowth (deutsch: "Postwachstum") so wirtschaften, dass wir innerhalb der planetaren Grenzen bleiben und nicht in eine Klimakatastrophe steuern? Was bedeuten die Ansätze der Degrowth-Bewegung für unsere Art zu leben, zu arbeiten, und für unseren Gesellschaftsbegriff? Wie könnte eine Degrowth-Gesellschaft in Wien aussehen? Und vor allem: Was ist Degrowth nicht?
Darüber haben wir mit Halliki Kreinin, Postdoktorandin an der Universität Münster, und mit Pedram Dersch von Degrowth Vienna gesprochen. Neben dem Verein, der sich in Wien für einen nicht auf Wachstum ausgerichteten Lebensstil und eine ebensolch...2022-05-0455 min

Oxford Society for International DevelopmentWhat is Degrowth? A radical overhaul of how we do development with Dr. Giacomo D'AlisaIn this week’s podcast, our event director, Zilun, talk about ‘degrowth’, the radical idea which tries to understand development beyond economic growth. Instead, degrowth focuses on sustainability, equality, fairness and justices alongside simple measures of economic prosperity. To supporters of degrowth, it is the way to understand development holistically and with a sharper focus on well-being - all of which are currently overlooked by economic growth. Zilun is joined by Dr. Giacomo D’Alisa, one of the founding members of the Degrowth movement to discuss the implications and feasibility in our modern day world.Podcast by Zilun Li...2022-02-2045 min
