Q. And what would degrowth bring?
A. It focuses on reducing harmful and unnecessary forms of production that don’t benefit the majority of people and reorganizing them around social and ecological needs. And it’s particularly aimed at countries in the Global North, where we produce a lot of SUVs, mansions, private jets, and fast fashion. This is very energy-intensive, very destructive, and doesn’t meet human needs."
