Dave Rahardja<p>So I took my car to a public park at the Golden Hour today to try taking some photos with my long lens. The park was predictably empty, being a Sunday afternoon, and the parking lot was quite sparse.</p><p>So I parked my car where I could get a good background and started walking to a spot where I can aim my lens, when this dude in a white minivan came and parked his van RIGHT NEXT TO MY CAR. He parked so close that he had trouble getting out. The parking lot was empty. WHY?</p><p>So I walked back to the car (and noticed that his car tire was over the line), squeezed myself in, and parked elsewhere. The guy returned a few minutes later, got in his van, drove off, and…</p><p>…parked RIGHT NEXT TO ANOTHER CAR whose driver was trying to get out. He parked his car so close that that car’s driver had to squeeze out, and gave the van driver a “wtf” look.</p><p>I swear some people park their cars right next to others’ by habit; he was oblivious.

O’Neill, Juliet B. Schor, Julia K. Steinberger, Peter A. Victor & Diana Ürge-Vorsatz, 12 December 2022</p><p>Excerpt: "The global economy is structured around growth — the idea that firms, industries and nations must increase production every year, regardless of whether it is needed. This dynamic is driving climate change and ecological breakdown. High-income economies, and the corporations and wealthy classes that dominate them, are mainly responsible for this problem and consume energy and materials at unsustainable rates.</p><p>"Yet many industrialized countries are now struggling to grow their economies, given economic convulsions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, resource scarcities and stagnating productivity improvements. Governments face a difficult situation. Their attempts to stimulate growth clash with objectives to improve human well-being and reduce environmental damage.</p><p>"GDP is getting a makeover — what it means for economies, health and the planet</p><p>"Researchers in ecological economics call for a different approach — degrowth. Wealthy economies should abandon growth of gross domestic product (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GDP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDP</span></a>) as a goal, scale down destructive and unnecessary forms of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/production" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>production</span></a> to reduce energy and material use, and focus economic activity around securing human needs and well-being. This approach, which has gained traction in recent years, can enable rapid <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/decarbonization" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>decarbonization</span></a> and stop ecological breakdown while improving social outcomes. It frees up energy and materials for low- and middle-income countries in which growth might still be needed for development. Degrowth is a purposeful strategy to stabilize economies and achieve social and ecological goals, unlike recession, which is chaotic and socially destabilizing and occurs when growth-dependent economies fail to grow.</p><p>"Reports this year by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IPCC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IPCC</span></a>) and the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biodiversity</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ecosystem</span></a> Services (<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IPBES" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IPBES</span></a>) suggest that degrowth policies should be considered in the fight against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateBreakdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateBreakdown</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> loss, respectively.

This means scaling down destructive sectors such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FossilFuels</span></a>, mass-produced meat and dairy, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FastFashion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FastFashion</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>advertising</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> and aviation, including <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PrivateJets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PrivateJets</span></a>. At the same time, there is a need to end the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlannedObsolescence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlannedObsolescence</span></a> of products, lengthen their lifespans and reduce the purchasing power of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rich</span></a>.</p><p>"Improve <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PublicServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PublicServices</span></a>. It is necessary to ensure universal access to high-quality <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HealthCare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HealthCare</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Housing</span></a>, transportation, Internet, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RenewableEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RenewableEnergy</span></a> and nutritious food. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversalPublicServices" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalPublicServices</span></a> can deliver strong social outcomes without high levels of resource use.</p><p>"Introduce a green jobs guarantee. This would train and mobilize labour around urgent social and ecological objectives, such as installing renewables, insulating buildings, regenerating <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystems</span></a> and improving social care. A programme of this type would end unemployment and ensure a just transition out of jobs for workers in declining industries or 'sunset sectors', such as those contingent on fossil fuels. It could be paired with a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UniversalIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalIncome</span></a> policy.</p><p>"Reduce working time. This could be achieved by lowering the retirement age, encouraging part-time working or adopting a four-day working week [and hybrid or remote work]. These measures would lower <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CarbonEmissions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CarbonEmissions</span></a> and free people to engage in care and other welfare-improving activities. They would also stabilize employment as less-necessary production declines.</p><p>"Enable <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sustainable</span></a> development. This requires cancelling unfair and unpayable debts of low- and middle-income countries, curbing unequal exchange in international trade and creating conditions for productive capacity to be reoriented towards achieving social objectives.</p><p>"Some countries, regions and cities have already introduced elements of these policies. Many European nations guarantee free health care and education; Vienna and Singapore are renowned for high-quality public housing; and nearly 100 cities worldwide offer free public transport. Job guarantee schemes have been used by many nations in the past, and experiments with basic incomes and shorter working hours are under way in Finland, Sweden and New Zealand.</p><p>"But implementing a more comprehensive strategy of degrowth — in a safe and just way — faces five key research challenges, as we outline here."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04412-x" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">nature.com/articles/d41586-022</span><span class="invisible">-04412-x</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/AtJ87" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/AtJ87</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FourDayWorkweek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FourDayWorkweek</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RemoteWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RemoteWork</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HybridWork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HybridWork</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CircularEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CircularEconomy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CapitalismKills" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CapitalismKills</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RightToRepair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RightToRepair</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectMotherEarth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectMotherEarth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CorporateColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuyLess" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuyLess</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuyNothing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BuyNothing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LibraryOfThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LibraryOfThings</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a></p>
