degrowth

Degrowth is an economic and social idea that promotes reducing overall production and consumption to create a more sustainable and equitable world. Instead of focusing on endless growth and increasing material wealth, degrowth encourages using resources more efficiently, prioritizing well-being, community, and environmental health. It challenges the idea that economic expansion always leads to better living standards, emphasizing quality of life over quantity. The goal is to decrease environmental impact, reduce inequality, and foster a more balanced relationship between humans and nature, ensuring resources are available for future generations.
