Makoma Lekalakala : Energy Transitions, Climate Justice and Human Needs

Degrowth in Practice I
Presented by the Centre for Human Ecology and Enough! Scotland
Degrowth, while a general critique of our global state of affairs, is fundamentally a situated approach and makes sense for the Global South as an anti-colonial project. Green Growth is pushed as a new language of imperialism in places like Chile and in “energy transitions” initiatives. This teach-in highlights the resistance to the “growth at all costs” that emerges from communities defending their territories and different cosmologies and frames degrowth as a project of global solidarity and human needs.
