More of Less

As we are heading for Scotland soon I will write in English in the green pilgrims blog from now on: Let me introduce you to a fantastic conference whose topic has impassioned us for some time now.

Yesterday was the opening of the 5th International Degrowth Conference in Budapest, for the first time taking place in an Eastern European country with lots of local participants.

Questioning the limits to growth

Degrowth has emerged over the last 10 years. This provocative slogan has been used to inspire in-depth debates on whether infinite growth in a finite world is desirable or even possible. The main goal of the Budapest Degrowth conference and week is on one hand to question the limits to growth in understanding the challenges faced by society and on the other hand to implement dialogue about solutions on different levels.
