COP30 was widely described as “the Indigenous COP.” But what does participation really mean?

This special episode of the Relational Science podcast, Post Growth Fellows, WarīNkwī Flores, Kaime Silvestre, and Josephine Ewoma, along with PGI team member Felipe Cortines, reflect on what unfolded in Brazil.

They examine how #Indigenous #leadership, #ecological knowledge, #climate #finance, and #AI governance intersect.

“I’d fashioned myself into Degrowth Girl — degrowth had become part of my identity; my ego would say yes to anything degrowth-related without asking my heart and body.

I was Doing, not Being.

I was replicating the ways of the system in trying to advance #degrowth

For those of us seeking post-capitalist futures: why not try Being, the energy of degrowth?”

#PostGrowth Fellow, Jane Wang reflects on her journey from ‘activist’ to something more aligned: https://medium.com/postgrowth/the-being-way-of-degrowth-f44ab2023906?source=friends_link&sk=295ed5d831548721b21a0529a5570853

Join Post Growth Fellow, di pham, in a collaborative world-building game about how we redistribute power without repeating history.

The world after capitalism is alive, uncertain, tender, and full of experiments. What remains are networks of trust, communities of care, and the uneasy task of redistributing power without recreating domination.

Welfare systems can thrive in a world beyond growth.

A unique study co-authored by #postgrowth Fellow, Vierna E. Tobing-David, shows that sustainable welfare can arise from reciprocity and regenerative local economies — rather than trickle-down economics.

Challenging the growth-driven assumptions that dominate discussions, the study explores how welfare can be both sustainable and locally embedded, even in contexts often dismissed as ‘less and least developed.’

Post Growth Fellow, Emilia Roig releases her latest #book titled Lieber Sohn — oder: So rettest du die Welt (‘Dear Son — or: How You Save the World’), inviting us to center life in a world governed by capital.

She reflects on abolitionist #politics, non-hierarchical governance, the limits of optimism, the role of inner transformation, and why #hope matters even in moments of profound uncertainty.
