Grateful to have collaborated on this work with many great minds --> How to create new, more equal and less violent worlds? Degrowth visions promise such worlds, but a central problem remains how to understand degrowth as it exists now. Here we offer some ways to ground degrowth political theorizing

I want to share a short reflection I recently published on a question I keep hearing: “What’s wrong with degrowth?” My answer: “Nothing.” Thank you to my friends at @degrowthinfo.bsky.social for publishing! Read it here: degrowth.info/en/blog/what...

New paper out: Encountering Degrowth We propose “encounters” as a way to study degrowth as lived practice, seen in territorial dynamics across Greece, Southern Italy, and Indonesia, and what this reveals about political economy, agrarian change, and global capitalism www.academia.edu/162467926/En...

Glad to see La Vanguardia covering our research. The main point holds: when people see the full proposal, support is high. Let’s talk about the program, not the word. www.lavanguardia.com/dinero/20260...

Me alegra ver nuestra investigacion en La Vanguardia. La idea central se sostiene: cuando se presenta la propuesta completa (objetivos + políticas), el apoyo es alto. El debate debería ser sobre el contenido, no sobre una palabra www.lavanguardia.com/dinero/20260...

🤔Did you know that a new research by ICTA-UAB and the @lseusablog.bsky.social shows large support for core ideas of #degrowth, but not the label?🪧 By @jasonhickel.bsky.social & @giorgoskallis.bsky.social Learn more⬇️ www.uab.cat/web/sala-de-...

Do people support the core idea of degrowth? A recent paper we published show the majority do. See our press release here: www.uab.cat/web/newsroom...

I'm excited to announce this new study, published in The Lancet Planetary Health, which explores public support for degrowth and ecosocialist transformation. The findings are quite surprising. www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

Once people understand what Degrowth is, the majority support it (74–84% in the UK and 67–73% in the US), regardless of the label. See our new research in @thelancet.com www.thelancet.com/journals/lan... @giorgoskallis.bsky.social @jasonhickel.bsky.social @F. Basso @lsepbs.bsky.social @cusp.ac.uk

🆕Un primer estudio integral muestra un gran apoyo a las ideas clave del #decrecimiento, pero no al término. Un estudio del ICTA-UAB liderado por @jasonhickel.bsky.social & @giorgoskallis.bsky.social revela apoyo en Reino Unido del 74-84 % y en EUA del 67-73 %. www.uab.cat/web/sala-de-...

Assessing public support for degrowth // New study by CUSP fellow @krpd.bsky.social and colleagues finds that—contrary to common political and media claims—the majority of respondents support #degrowth when presented with the full proposal, regardless of the label. → cusp.ac.uk/themes/aetw/...

First comprehensive investigation shows large support for core ideas of degrowth, but not the label. Conducted by ICTA-UAB researchers @giorgoskallis.bsky.social & @jasonhickel.bsky.social together with the LSE @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social www.uab.cat/web/sala-de-...

How does wealth inequality impact climate change? Alongside my brilliant colleagues @morrison-james.bsky.social & @profjeroenbergh.bsky.social we attempt to answer this in a new article @climate-policy.bsky.social We identify four mechanisms through which wealth inequality impacts carbon emissions

💰 Wealth inequality impacts #carbonemissions through four mechanisms, find @morrison-james.bsky.social @profjeroenbergh.bsky.social @giorgoskallis.bsky.social @icta-uab.bsky.social: 1️⃣ Increased power of elites 2️⃣ Luxurious lifestyles 3️⃣ Higher status consumption 4️⃣ Investment in high carbon activities

I'll be giving a talk on Tue 4 Nov, 15:00–16:30 CET. “Political Ecological Economics & the nature of growth.” It will revolve around why growth persists (surplus extraction, cost-shifting) and how to move beyond it. Zoom: us02web.zoom.us/j/8854726631...

Dr. Krpan discussed his latest research (with @giorgoskallis.bsky.social, @jasonhickel.bsky.social & Frederic Basso) showing that public support for degrowth is complex, rooted in policies, everyday practices, and psychological processes shaping transformative change. 🧠🌱
