Less is More | The Nature Book Club
Although the world has finally awakened to the reality of the climate crisis and ecological collapse, we continue to see proposed solutions that perpetuate the existing system of pro-growth capitalism. Instead of changing structural causes, the solutions revolve around utilizing technological innovations to spur more economic green growth. But what if these solutions (defined as green capitalism) do not work nor deliver as promised?
We invite you to join us for this session as we discuss the criticisms of green capitalism and explore the possibilities of a post-capitalist future from the degrowth
