I recently prepared these slides for a presentation, and thought I'd share them here too, for anyone who is interested in the topic of #degrowth

@timparrique received a standing ovation at the end of this presentation because it was AWESOME! You really have to watch it to see how good it was (beyond-growth-2023.eu/lecture/plenar…, starting at 9:40:50), but in the meantime, I’ll share my favourite lines below:
“Green Growth is a fairytale!”

“The best way to green growth is to take growth away.”

“Whatever technology we have, it is easier and faster to reduce ecological footprint in a situation where levels of production and consumption decrease.”
“It feels irresponsibly foolish to bet the survival of humanity on a highly improbable miracle predicted by the obscure models of a handful of economists.”

“[degrowth] is a macroeconomic diet for biophysically obese economies.”

Some of my favourite threads and articles from the last week-ish, roughly in order of (1) problem -> (2) way forward -> (3) momentum:

(1) Problem: our growth-based economies are at the heart of our ecological crises

🧵 (1/16) Image
"The fact is that we cannot keep growing the same cancerous way ‘except solar’. It’s like saying I’m going to switch lung cancer for eye cancer. I mean, still cancer…. we’re getting a brutal lesson this century whether we want it or not."

(2/16)

“…we must rapidly reduce consumption/destruction of natural resources and associated fossil fuel use. This is only achievable by reversing economic ‘growth’ …. This is not unrealistic or anti-capitalist — it’s counting.”

When it comes to choosing between achieving sustainability goals or pursuing growth, 99% (maybe more?) of the time companies will choose growth and expansion.

(1/9)

In this example Crocs can't achieve its initial sustainability goals because it acquired a brand and because of its "ongoing global expansion", even though they admit that their initial net-zero by 2030 goal was "neither vast nor fast enough".

(2/9)
To be clear, Crocs Inc had committed to a net-zero target and has a global head of sustainability, which is a "a newly created position at Crocs to help hit the ambitious goal of being net zero".

Over the course of history, all new energy sources have been *incremental* to existing energy sources. This includes renewables - thus far they have not replaced fossil fuels, which continue to grow in usage. (1/7)
Our growth-based economic system means that we turn that new energy into more consumption rather than displace existing sources of energy. GDP and energy use are virtually correlated on a 1:1 ratio (2/7)
Thankfully we can live happy, healthy lives with less energy, this study shows that “decent standards of living could be provided to a growing global population for less than 40 per cent of the energy used around the world today.” (3/7)
