New research concludes that humanity would benefit more if it aims for ecological sustainability and stays within the limits of what Earth can provide, rather than pursuing relentless growth.
Uno de los conceptos que más polémica genera entre los economistas es el de decrecimiento. Mientras unos consideran que es imprescindible, otros lo tachan de utopía, aunque en medio existen muchos grises.
Per sortir del xoc emocional i dels clixés arran de la dana que ha arrasat València, anem a l’Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals de la Universitat Autònoma a parlar amb tres especialistes en economia i política ecològiques
Today’s interdependent and aggravating social-ecological crises warrant a profound rethinking of our economic system. “Putting people and planet before profit” must not stay a slogan but become a reality.
La reciente crisis del sector eólico, la falta y los precios de ciertas materias primas y el declive de los fósiles disparan el interés por esta teoría. ¿Será inevitable decrecer?
During the public lecture, Julia Steinberger will present her current research project “Living Well within Limits” and discuss questions such as What are the biophysical resources, more specifically energy, required to achieve human well-being?
…we, the undersigned academics and civil society organisations, see the geopolitical crisis as an opportunity to disengage from the socially and ecologically harmful growth competition…
JASON HICKEL, GIORGOS KALLIS, JULIA STEINBERGER et al.
Professor Kallis joins the show to talk about degrowth economics and why it is critical to achieve the degrowth goals if we want to reduce the negative impacts of the climate crisis.
Ecological and social limits to growth are often brought up in the context where we need to respect these external boundaries and restrain ourselves accordingly.
In October of this year Giorgos Kallis, Julia Steinberger and Jason Hickel were awarded 9.9 million euros by the European Research Council (ERC) for a project titled Pathways towards post growth deals.
Some valuable lessons learned: Listen first, speak second. Don’t just inform and educate … enable and engage. And apply those lessons at next opportunity.
This episode’s guest is Julia Steinberger, and we talk about what it would mean for humankind to live well while respecting the nature’s limited resources.
As policymakers prioritize an economic rebound, scholars are backing an idea that pushes social and ecological wellbeing over a system that pursues relentless economic growth.
On this episode we talk about how to live well within limits, on how affluence is the strongest determinants of global impacts, what are some radical approaches to get out from the current mess and what are some strategies the reduce the environmental impact of cities.
On this episode, we talk with Giorgos Kallis, who is an ecological economist and political ecologist working on environmental justice and limits to growth.
On this episode, we talk with Giorgos Kallis, who is an ecological economist and political ecologist working on environmental justice and limits to growth. We discuss about degrowth, political ecology, common sense and cities.
