Degrowth

Degrowth is a social movement and a research framework which advocates for a transition to sustainable and just forms of social organization. It proposes to achieve this double objective by “de-growing” the energy and matter throughput of the global economic system and reorienting economic activity away from production of material goods toward provisioning to meet the needs of people’s well-being by distributing shared wealth using different ways of allocating resources (Kallis, 2018). As a “transitional discourse” envisioning alternative societies built on “ecological integrity and social justice” (Escobar, 2015, p. 1), it approaches the transition from a systems-thinking perspective that combines the values of ecology, justice, well-being and democracy (Demaria et al., 2013) with the theoretical foundations of ecological economics, political ecology, postdevelopment, environmentalism of the poor and limits to growth. The proposals in academic literature cluster on (1) reduction of the environmental impact of human activities, (2) redistribution of income and wealth within and between countries, and (3) transition from a materialistic to a convivial and participatory society (Cosme et al., 2017).
