What might that look like?<br>______________________________________</p><p>Countries that have overshot ecological limits would scale back their non-essential production and consumption to lessen environmental impacts and to decarbonise more rapidly by:</p><p>❇️ Reducing reliance on cheap fossil energy<br>❇️ Reducing the use of material-intensive luxuries like SUVs, private jets, and oversized homes<br>❇️ Stopping unsustainable practices such as the industrial production of meat and the culture of fast fashion<br>❇️ Curbing the wealth excesses of the very rich<br>❇️ Promoting public transportation over private vehicle use<br>❇️ Fostering a culture of durability and repairability in consumer goods</p><p>Simultaneously, the focus would shift toward enhancing social progress and human well-being by: </p><p>🔷 Guaranteeing universal access to high-quality essential public services like healthcare, education, childcare, and transportation<br>🔷 Ensuring affordable housing and living wages for all<br>🔷 Implementing a public job guarantee; a nationally-funded program where the municipal government provides jobs to those willing and able to work </p><p>Embracing these changes does *not* mean rejecting technology. A balanced approach where technological innovation and efficiency improvements are pursued as long as they are sustainable, safe, and equitable should be encouraged. The focus is on using resources efficiently, distributing them fairly, and scaling down non-essential production to help societies achieve self-sufficiency and justice."<br>______________________________________</p><p>LEARN MORE ➡️ <a href="https://explore.degrowth.net/degrowth/a-degrowth-economy-explained/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">explore.degrowth.net/degrowth/</span><span class="invisible">a-degrowth-economy-explained/</span></a></p><p>Original post:<br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/@breadandcircuses@climatejustice.social/114115863645398123" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">kolektiva.social/@breadandcirc</span><span class="invisible">uses@climatejustice.social/114115863645398123</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Degrowth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SelfSufficiency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfSufficiency</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/Decarbonize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Decarbonize</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunk</span></a></p>
