“Two months ago, ~150 activists were arrested opposing the European Gas Conference in Vienna. What about civil democracies, why are the ppl fighting for climate justice being arrested?” - Brototi Roy on ‘green’ extractivism + repressive reactions to its opposition #BeyondGrowth2023

Yesterday Vandana Shiva got plenty of standing ovations at #BeyondGrowth2023 for her inspiring talk on #ecofeminism . Also yesterday, Maria Mies died. Their joint book 'Ecofeminism' (1993) was one of the first comprehensive introductions to the field. Rest in Power, Maria Mies!

I wrote a blog post to summarise the key ideas and moments of the #BeyondGrowth Conference, hosted earlier this week at the European Parliament. #BeyondGrowth 2023 medium.com/@teemu.koskima…

The rules governing fiscal policy need to be transformed. These rules have prevented European convergence, and such polarisation throws people of Europe against each other.
I couldn’t agree more with Louison Cahen-Fourot at the #BeyondGrowth2023 conference

Na de met leugens doorspekte desinfo campagne tegen ' #degrowth ' door filosofen, mediamannen en onze premier: wat duiding over wat degrowth wél en niet is. Nu in Knack. Plus grafiekjes. Kan het #DegrowthBelgium debat ook inhoudelijk eerlijk zijn?

📢 'The colonial project must stop.'

I'm also pleased and amused by the choice of picture:

If you wanted to make 'de-growers' (sic, lol) seem crazy and dangerous, why would you choose this image?

I know which side of this slope I'd like to be on. 😅

While the interventions by our fellow scientists were great, we need more representation of social scientists to help us think through questions of decolonization, power balances, class struggle, public mobilization, and social consequences and impacts #BeyondGrowth2023

At #BeyondGrowth 2023 many panels spoke of the need to highlight examples of post growth thinking in action.

Some say:
'Leave the rich alone
if they are not hurting others.'

But #overconsumption by the rich
DOES hurt us all:

We share 1 climate system,
are in a #ClimateCrisis , & they are hogging
the carbon budget we have left.
