Desirability and feasibility of perpetual economic growth is a matter of academic debate.
As of now degrwoth is not even considered as a climate change mitigation measure in projections of future #climatechange. Instead, they rely on technological innovation and further growth.
Here is cool new paper on the challenges of implementing the concept of #degrowth in models. 👇
@TatianaIlyina these are all different ways of defining what we really view as progress. For a long time (but not always), economic growth has owned the word progress. “Degrowth” is a recentering of social progress. I’m ready to retake what we mean by progress.
Nature is currently engage in degrowth, busting dams, shuttering entire regions, which remain damaged for decades, drying up transport rivers, heat waves shutting down production.
Climate change is eroding existing productive capacity and it continue to do so with increasing ferocity, both in frequency and intensity. We can scuttle around with out metal and concrete bits, but ecology and green things have the capacity to mitigate both drought and flood. cheap too.
