New paper out by Jefim Vogel & Jason Hickel demonstrating the absurdity of #greengrowth promises:

"[H]igh-income countries have not achieved green growth, and are very unlikely to be able to achieve it in the future"

"At the achieved rates, these countries would on average take more than 220 years to reduce their emissions by 95%, emitting 27 times their remaining 1·5°C fair-shares in the process. To meet their 1·5°C fair-shares alongside continued economic growth, decoupling rates would on average need to increase by a factor of ten by 2025." #degrowth #postgrowth
