"Every. Single. Journalist. who was there (and there were many, from major outlets all over Europe and the world) that I spoke to, said "my editor refuses to print any story critical of economic growth"."
Shocking.

Edited to add a mention of Parrique's Mastodon account.
During Johan Rockström's talk at #BeyondGrowth2023 I was tweeting furiously and trying to relay his (crystalline, factful) argument in real-time. In a nutshell: human civilization evolved under conditions of extraordinary #climate and planetary stability. As we leave it, all bets are off. It is imperative to keep within #planetaryboundaries.
But it's better to just listen to his killer 10 mins presentation. Highly recommended.
Sokerina pohjalla, juuri ennen kesälomia, ilmestyy tämä kirjoitus #BeyondGrowth2023 -konferenssista. Tätä on hyvä siellä riippumatossa lukea ja pohtia, kuinka maailman suuret ongelmat oikeastaan voidaankaan ratkaista ja minkälaista taloutta se kysyy.
These two visual sensemaking graphics from the EU Parliament conference #BeyondGrowth2023 panel that I spoke at are awesome! The second bubble in the second graphic captures some of the points I had made quiet nicely.

La conferencia #BeyondGrowth2023 obliga a los políticos a hablar de decrecimiento y cambio profundo del sistema económico.
Abro hilo.
Xan López, experto en ecología política, viajó a Bruselas para asistir a la conferencia "Beyond Growth 2023", un debate (el decrecimiento) que empieza a tomar fuerza en Europa. Sus reflexiones del evento.
On the way back from #BeyondGrowth2023 conference I wrote a blog for #EnvironmentalPolitics journal. It's my impressions, so please take it as such. For me it was a mixture of feelings and tension btw. hope and achievement & the opposite. I write about #eurocentrism & #colonial mindset that remains unshaken.
The reflectiond of the panel 3. "Beyond Growth Beyond Europe" is missing from the blog, because I spotted it online only afterwards 😞
