PERSONAL PAGE

Joel Millward-Hopkins is a postdoctoral researcher at UNIL. He explores theoretical scenarios for meeting human needs within planetary boundaries on a global scale, devoting particular attention to inequality. His studies and previous research have been varied and interdisciplinary – ranging from an undergraduate in mathematics, through small-scale renewable energy assessments, city-scale carbon accounting, and circular economics, to exploring the implications of inequality for global energy use, and the ideologies underpinning inequality itself.

He sees degrowth as a means to focus economic and social activities towards things that directly improve people’s lives, rather than primarily serving special interests and the economy itself.
