I'm happy to announce Kohtuus: our new association for #degrowth advocacy in #Finland!

We hope to use this association as a vehicle to stimulate better discussion in Finland and find ways to move beyond the all-encompassing growthism.

Feel free to reach out if you're interested!

p.s. "Kohtuus" is a deep-rooted Finnish term and common sense that translates roughly to #suffiency. The stylized logo breaks the term to "koht" which means "soon", and "uus", "new".

#CapitalismIsKillingUs: If the world’s highest emitting countries only focus on technological climate solutions (like switching to renewable energy) and not #systemic behavioral ones (like buying less stuff and using less energy), the authors argue, #climatechange may be slowed. But #ecological #overshoot—which includes symptoms like #biodiversity loss, #ecosystem collapse, and #oceanacidification—will worsen. And as overshoot worsens, the authors argue, “the likelihood of societal breakdown increases.”
