Degrowth Movement

The Degrowth Movement advocates for the intentional reduction of production and consumption to achieve ecological sustainability and social equity. It challenges the idea that economic growth is always beneficial, arguing that continuous growth harms the environment and quality of life. Degrowth promotes simpler lifestyles, local economies, and equitable resource distribution. Supporters believe that by prioritizing well-being over profit, societies can create healthier communities and a more sustainable planet. Instead of focusing on GDP, the movement emphasizes measures of happiness, ecological balance, and social justice.
