Degrowth
Seeks a planned reduction of resource and energy throughput in affluent economies while protecting well-being and reducing inequality. It challenges GDP growth as the overriding public objective and emphasizes sufficiency and redistribution.
Reference boundary: The core questionnaire does not directly measure ecological throughput or growth commitments. Redistribution answers alone cannot identify degrowth.
Foundational doctrines
- Ecological limits
- Sufficiency
- Reduced material throughput
- Well-being beyond GDP
Disagreement and variation
The transition raises questions about employment, public revenue, care provision, and poorer countries’ material needs. Advocates disagree over which activities should contract or expand; an uncontrolled recession is not their stated objective.
