Prof Okereke: ’We agree about the key things : growth as an emphasis of the good life is flawed, but at the same time there are places in the world where we need to increase consumption. About 700M people live in extreme poverty (1.9US dollar per day). We need greater equality‘

[OpenEconForum @OpenEconForum]

Dr Corinna Dengler: ‘Degrowth is not about doing the opposite of growth - that’s called a recession. There are sectors that have to grow and sectors that have to degrow - these are the ones that are ecologically harmful.‘

Thank you Nick for this fantastic summary of the key debates tonight!

Remember, we're all building towards a good life for all within socio-ecological limits!

[OpenEconForum @OpenEconForum]

Prof. Pollin kicking off the debate fantastically "contracting economic activity is not a solution to the climate crisis, not even close, we need a global green new deal with energy efficiency, with reforestation, organic agriculture.."
