Green Growth vs Degrowth: Which Model for a Sustainable Future?

General public Lecture
16.04.2025 18:00 - 19:30
Onsite

When we talk about ecological transition and economics, the question of growth is never far behind. But how can we reconcile economic development with the urgent need to reduce our environmental footprint?

Is green growth — a model that bets on technological innovation and efficiency — the key to sustainable prosperity? Or should we embrace degrowth, a radical shift that questions the very foundations of our consumer-driven societies?

Join us for a thought-provoking conference and open debate to explore how these two visions can help us face the environmental and economic challenges of the 21st century. Whether you're curious, skeptical, or already committed to one side, come and take part in the discussion!
