SHOW NOTES
As societies get richer, they consume more resources. That also means they generate more pollution, driving climate change and destroying natural ecosystems. We need to somehow break this link between material wealth and environmental catastrophe.

There are no realistic scenarios to make the economic growth demanded by capitalism compatible with a safe climate. We can’t just grow our way out of this climate and ecological mess.
"Green Economic Growth" is a myth. The only reasonable path is degrowth.

But this does not mean we need to give up on the very idea of prosperity. Rather it means recognising that there are other ways of creating prosperity which do not require endless growth. It does require us to dramatically reduce our material consumption of Earth's resources. This is probably the greatest obstacle to climate action and the restoration of our living biosphere: the idea that we have to do with less.
It may sound like doom-speak, but we need to find ways to fundamentally restructure our economies and production relations to transition to new forms of prosperity that leave endless growth in the dust.
Ultimately, degrowth is inevitable. We will either choose this path voluntarily, or we will be forced into it violently and uncontrollably as a result of environmental disasters. If we want to prevent the suffering and tragedies that accompany such drastic shifts, we must bring about a culture of degrowth.
Listen in and discover how this can be accomplished and what your role is in the finding a balance between our clean-green energy future and fueling the renewables transition that is our last great hope.
