Two #degrowth related events this week:
CCIT Seminar with @neil_selwyn on Digital Degrowth
"In 2020, Wired magazine declared degrowth to be "the worst idea on the planet". Three years later, Marc Andreessen called out degrowth as a "bad idea" and an "enemy" to technological progress. Taking inspiration from Andrew Ahern’s observation that "degrowth pisses off all the right people", Neil Selwyn considers what degrowth and post-growth thinking might have to offer those looking to radically break away from the destructive modes of digital excess that have come to define the first few decades of the twenty-first century. In short, this talk considers a deceptively simple question - how might degrowth thinking support ambitions of sustainable, scaled-down and equitable ways of living with digital technologies?"

@gerrymcgovern Yet another reason for #degrowth and stop relying on #bigtech.
So, after today's #FightForTheFuture, please join myself (and anyone else who'd like to chime in) for tomorrow's #SolarPunkSunday ! Even though it's a holiday for some, I'll still be posting about #RepairCafes, #Gardening, #Degrowth, and other related subjects! It's time to plant #SeedsOfChange! 
Governments are willing to do anything to protect citizens from the impacts of #ClimateChange. Except stop climate change.
Window dressing doesn't protect people. Stopping fossil fuels will.

Hej!
This is our #introduction / #introductions
We are the Institute for Degrowth Studies, based in #Malmö #Sweden. We are an association (“ideell förening”) founded with the aim of spreading knowledge about #degrowth, creating and/or supporting activities aligned with degrowth, providing opportunities for our members to learn more about degrowth, and fostering collaboration both locally and internationally with other degrowth groups and organizations that share similar values.
After organizing the 6th International Degrowth Conference we have arranged study circles and study visits, lectures, workshops, film screenings, and projects. We have also collaborated with other civil-society organisations for public events and activities.
As part of prefiguring the world we want to see, we are now happy to also have a presence on the #fediverse. We will post updates of related events in the area and share other relevant materials!
Hej!
Här kommer vår #introduction / #introductions
Vi är Institutet för nerväxtstudier, en ideell förening från #Malmö #Sweden. Vår målsättning är att sprida kunskap om #degrowth, skapa och stötta evenemang och aktiviteter enliga med degrowth, erbjuda tillfällen för våra medlemmar att lära sig mer om ämnet, och främja samarbetet mellan organisationer och grupper som delar degrowths värderingar.
Efter att vi samordnade den 6e Internationella Degrowth Konferensen, har vi arrangerat studiecirklar, studiebesök, föredrag, workshops, filmvisningar och arbetat på projekt. Vi har också samarbetat med andra samhällsorganisationer för allmänna evenemang och aktiviteter.
I strävan om att skapa den värld vi vill se är vi nu glada att visa vår närvaro på #fediverse. Vi kommer lägga upp evenemang och aktiviteter i området och dela annan relevant information!
An important documentary from the BBC titled “Less is more: Can degrowth save the world?”
_______________________________
In recent years, a new approach to addressing the climate crisis has been gaining traction. A group of academics and activists are questioning the possibility of endless economic growth on a finite planet. They instead advocate for a bold solution: degrowth.
The movement argues for radically scaling back our global consumption of resources, the democratisation of the economy, and collectively managing key resources.
Critics of degrowth argue that economic growth has lifted many people out of poverty over the years, and that the movement underestimates both the power of innovation and the need for investment in new sustainable technology.
But what is degrowth and what does it look like in practice?

Capitalism is the root cause of the climate and environmental crises and cannot possibly be part of any solution. Either we end capitalism or capitalism will end us.
We're on a path to fail. There is no technology that can prevent the collapse of modern industrial society.
The good news: It is barely conceivable that with nearly immediate system change and a strong commitment to the principles of a just degrowth, we *might* be able to achieve a comparatively soft landing.
The bad news: Our capitalist rulers will surely not surrender to anything like the above without a hellish fight.
This is your personal invitation to discuss the draft of the Nua-Celtic Manifesto with me on https://zotum.net/profile/ncm.
