DegrowthUK

What is #degrowth?
We offer a definition wherein the fundamental core is the planned reduction of energy and material use to keep within planetary limits, while the associated 'pluriversal' belt of concepts and practices is also essential to degrowth.

The version of our "Minority influence: how can degrowth step up? A contribution to the ecosocialism vs horizontalism debate." at Resilience reads a bit better on some devices (wordprocessor->wordpress format problems with the tables). The content is the same as at the above link.

Minority influence: how can degrowth step up?

A debate is in progress between alternative strategy prescriptions for degrowth: ecosocialism vs. horizontalism.

Tim Parrique makes a similar point:
"As I argue in Defining degrowth (2025), the unavoidable core of degrowth is a downscaling of economic activities."

A response to Daniel Susskind: Degrowth – a reckoning

Given the gravity of the present situation, we should be very careful about what we think we know about growth. if I’m wrong about degrowth, then you can kick-start the economy back again to continue growing business-as-usual. If Daniel Susskind is wrong, on the other hand, it will cost us the biosphere.

do the guys up in the foodchain realise this or are they just going to cull the population so that more resources will be left for them to consume?

This is a great list of things connected with degrowth. I'd also add something about honoring nature and the land, and about living local (knowing local plants, ways to grow, knowing your local watershed, etc.)

Yes, you are right of course - will add something like that in any future iterations.
