Political agreement on #EU fiscal rules is a disaster from an environmental & social perspective and is likely to go down in history as one of the worst deals. New study by NEF & EUROPEAN TRADE UNIONS shows that new rules will bring back #austerity & hinder achieving climate & social goals

Degrowth gets bipartisan blowback from the Right & some on the Left b/c it challenges some of our most ingrained cultural norms.

We're told that when GDP does up, everything gets better. That's false.

We're told that humans are self-interested insatiable consumers. Wrong.

ich habe gerade eine revolutionäre Form der Außenpolitik entwickelt, die daraus besteht, dass man keine Waffen an Nationen liefert, die damit die Mitarbeiter von Hilfsorganisationen bombardieren

What are the reasons for modelling degrowth, and why hasn’t it been done before?

For some it is about justice: faster emissions reductions in rich countries.

Feasibility + sustainability: reducing technology upscaling (CDR, renewables) and decoupling rates.

While meeting very ambitious targets, stopping economic growth could:

Hi all, it is *vital* to get Nada's family out of Gaza. Please help. I only share fundraisers where I have confirmed the identity, also please use card rather than Paypal, paypal has been witholding money arbitrarily from Palestinians.

My friend Harriet reminded me that Easter is the anniversary of when the three women went to Christ's tomb and found he wasn't there, and angels explained what happened, but the apostles didn't believe them.

This is not something that actually happens in real life. When a woman’s friend does this, it’s not to Prince Charming. It’s to somebody that thousands of years of cave brain tells her is a physical danger to her friend.

And more often times than not, she is correct.
