wocomoDOCS | Degrowth: Saving the world with consumption renunciation and sustainability @wocomodocs | Uploaded June 2023 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
DEGROWTH, tackles the big question of economic growth in a finite world from the point of view of a social and deeply ecological movement known as degrowth. Professors, economists, engineers and philosophers are taking part in this important movement in many countries like France, Italy, Spain, UK or Canada.
While governments put their politically and scientifically short-sighted trust in a technological panacea to resolve the crisis of the environment and resources that we are being subjected to, expecting to adapt the planet and humanity itself to the will of productivism, degrowth lays out a reworking of our way of live, considering the limits of the biosphere and the real needs of human beings.
This documentary juxtaposes two worlds. The world as it is now, a world of desire, of "having " and "always more", characterized by the absence of any restraint. It's a myth which is cracking today thanks to the decline of energy resources and raw materials, and the environmental crisis, all of which are addressed in interviews with experts in this documentary. But another world is on its way, a world of "being", aware of the limits of the biospehre, where the so-called "conscientious objectors to growth" work together to build a socio-economic alternative which is both sustainable and liberating.

The concept behind degrowth is shrinking rather than growing economies. In other words it means that we use less of the world's resources and energy and put its wellbeing ahead of profit. Economies can help themselves, their citizens and the planet by becoming more sustainable in pursuing degrowth policies.
