From our archives: a webinar series on #degrowth, freely available!
In part I, @crelis.bsky.social, associate professor in environmental geography, explains the differences between green growth and degrowth. And, what are our ecological and economical limits? Check it out:
We Nua-Celts strive to live as best we can according to the following maxims of conduct (11-12/24): We self-determinedly end our striving for independence and recognize our dependence on the love of our social environment. We stop judging. We evaluate rather than judge. Source: The Nua-Celtic Manifesto

Afterwards, someone from the department of education asked me how long I had rehearsed my questions. I said not at all and I countered with why the f aren't more people asking these questions?
I do not expect anyone there to make change, but these conversations need to be held. #PowerResiliency […]
We Nua-Celts strive to live as best we can according to the following maxim of conduct (10/24): We decide self-determined for self-limitation and against the excessive fulfillment of artificial desires. We accept gratefully what others give us to the best of our ability and give ourselves in gifts, even immaterial ones such as care, what we can without expecting anything in return.

“We are not dealing with a gradual adjustment to growth. We are confronting the possibility of a systemic phase transition—a shift in the operating conditions of the economy as cascading risks propagate through interconnected systems.” #PostGrowth #Degrowth

Tell someone who doesn’t know about AMOC about AMOC shutting down and ask them what they plan to do when it does. #degrowth
“Capitalism was progress. Unfortunately, it has a fundamental flaw: it not only generates growth, but it is dependent on that growth for its continued stability. But infinite growth is not possible in a finite world.” #degrowth

“They don’t want to hear that technology based on finite minerals & the destruction of nature is a time limited offer on any planet. No one wants the show to end. Even when the magician sets the stage on fire, [they expect] the next trick will put it out.” #degrowth

We Nua-Celts strive to live as best we can according to the following maxims of conduct (8-9/24): We replace our self-interested thinking and acting by striving for the highest good of All-That-Is. We acknowledge the destructive effect of growth in a finite world. A good life for all people is only possible with a decreasing world GDP, which is distributed as equally as possible to all. That means that we in the global north have to limit ourselves (#degrowth), so that self-determined developments are still possible in the global south. Source: The Nua-Celtic Manifesto

“…instead of chasing an ethereal ‘economic growth’, Labour need to focus on concrete long-run human & planet-centred goals. These should include equitable access to essential goods like health, housing, transport, food, water, energy & nature…” #PostGrowth #Degrowth

In combination with #degrowth, a #DonutEconomy and #SystemChange to #Conviviality it's the best chance we have!
“…we are witnessing the reordering of the international division of labour in a context of a war for hegemony. But this fact also reveals the structural fragility of an economic system built on an extremely concentrated & finite material base.” #Degrowth #PostGrowth
