Infinite growth on a planet with finite resources was always geared up to hit the wall at some point. But where to next? The crux of the discussion centres around what are our planetary limits and how do we, as a species, create a system which can live within those boundaries.

Featuring guest speakers Jonathan Boston, Kate Meyer and Tim Crownshaw, this discussion looks at two schools of thought. On the one hand, the proponents of Green Growth advocate for continued GDP Growth within clearly defined biophysical and social limits that minimise harm to the environment and society. On the other, Degrowth advocates rejecting the use of GDP as an indicator, instead favouring the slowing down and reversal of global resource consumption, production and energy use until we reach genuinely sustainable levels.
