Dear Alexey,

This fall, S4F and Ontgroei are co-organizing a series of webinars on the topic of degrowth. The first two episodes can be watched back here.

Webinar 3 is on degrowth policies, announcement below. Mind the time!

Exploring degrowth policy proposals
Thursday 24 November – 13:00 – 14:00 CET

Abstract

Degrowth speaks to the primary contradictions of our time: ecological overshoot, social shortfall, capital accumulation. But how does it approach policy-making? This episode explores the current state of degrowth policy proposals and how their key features fit the context of public policy design and transition strategies. Check out the open access paper here.
