Degrowth
Degrowth is a social and economic concept that advocates for the reduction of consumption and production to achieve a more sustainable and equitable society. It is often associated with the idea of Simplification and Downshifting, where individuals and communities prioritize Wellbeing and Environmental sustainability over economic growth. The concept of degrowth is closely related to Ecological economics and Steady-state economy, which aim to balance human activities with the limits of the Environment. Degrowth is also linked to Social justice and Equality, as it seeks to address issues of Income inequality and Resource distribution. Proponents of degrowth, such as Tim Jackson, argue that it is necessary to mitigate Environmental stress and promote a more Sustainable future.
