When politicians tell us to focus on growth we need to ask: ‘Why, and for whom?’—Rowan Williams, patron of the CUSP 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘋𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘶𝘦, in The Guardian → https://lnkd.in/eNbFPmz5 cc Tim Jackson Wellbeing Economy Alliance - WEAll #PostGrowth #Degrowth #WellbeingEconomy #ProsperityWithoutGrowth #TheCareEconomy #BeyondGrowth

“No political mantra, no tech-bro fantasy, no alluring macroeconomic ideology has stemmed the persistent decline of #EconomicGrowth. Let alone reversed it. To all intents and purposes, we are already living in a #postgrowth world… It may seem unthinkable, but what we need is a chancellor who is prepared to declare that the emperor is naked. That the god of growth is no longer listening to our prayers.”—Tim Jackson for The New Statesman → https://lnkd.in/eTu4v_F9 cc #TheCareEconomy

I've shared this article before, but doing so again as I think it is a great piece with hope at its core: Wellbeing economy "aligns well with te ao Māori: It is embedded through its emphasis on human and planetary wellbeing and aim to stay within biophysical boundaries; the principles of dignity and fairness as well as aim to efficiently allocate resources delineate a focus on collective outcomes; there is some degree of empathetic decision-making present, not just in the focus on dignity, but also on connection; there is no overt reference to reciprocal exchange; balance is a key aim of WE as outlined by the principles of dignity and fairness and the goal of creating and maintaining a fair distribution of resources, income, and wealth; and the principle of participation outlines the need for locally rooted economies" https://lnkd.in/gsQVJQNM #WellbeingEconomy

Keep money circulating in our communities — without creating new currencies 🔄🌍 Ekhilur Koop, a nonprofit citizen cooperative in the Basque town of Hernani, is pioneering an approach to strengthening the local economy. Instead of creating a new currency, it operates its own payment system to maximize the circulation of money, strengthening small businesses and fostering financial resilience 💶➡️🏪➡️🛍️ Read more about this innovative model and how it could be scaled to reshape local economies: https://lnkd.in/gvQhqG8S #basque #community #currency #local #spain #postgrowth #economy

Could you be our new Co-Chair? We're looking for a collaborative Co-Chair to support our work to transform the economic system to put people and planet first. You'll play a vital role in providing oversight and guidance on the organisation’s strategy, financial and legal matters. This is a voluntary role (in line with UK charity law -where we're headquartered) that will support our flat-stuctured team and work in partnership with our current chair Stewart Wallis. If you have good knowledge of the new economics space, a commitment to economic systems change and decolonial approaches, as well as trustee/civil society management experience, we'd love to hear from you.

Green Colonialism: Empire’s Last Extraction Project The green transition isn’t about justice—it’s a new phase of colonial modernity. Under the guise of sustainability, the Global North is rebranding extractivism, turning the energy transition into a tool for continued domination. From green hydrogen land grabs in North Africa to carbon offsets displacing Indigenous communities, we are witnessing a new wave of imperial plunder—this time in the name of climate action. Inspired by the work of hamza hamouchene, this paper unpacks how “decarbonization by dispossession” is deepening inequality, reinforcing dependencies, and sustaining imperial energy regimes. ⚡ Who owns the transition? ⚡ Who decides what sustainability looks like? ⚡ How do we fight for sovereignty beyond colonial modernity? Read the full paper and join the debate. Climate justice is not just about emissions—it’s about power, empire, and liberation.
