Green Growth, or Degrowth?

Changing economic model to be restorative and regenerative is critical.

Degrowth doesn’t have to mean GDPs don’t grow or losing technological advances:

  1. GDPs can continue to grow by supporting local businesses meeting local needs sustainably. By growing climate action as an economic output, ‘growing GDPs’ then wouldn’t be a bad thing for the planet.

  2. Enabling more accessibility of technology to more people, would only result in greater potential for more technological advances. 8 billion humans could be working on 8 billion technological advances, as long as they are done sustainably degrowth is not anti-technology. (which is the main argument against it).
