In the Declaration of the First<br>> International Conference in Paris in<br>> 2008, we had noted, against the current, the looming multi-dimensional<br>>
crisis which was not just financial but<br>> also fiscal, social, ethical, and ecological, result of the failure of an<br>> economic model based on growth. Today<br>> this multi-dimensional crisis threatens the conditions of living of the most<br>> vulnerable people in our societies<br>> and in the world.<br>> An international elite and a “global middle class” with its conspicuous<br>> consumption is not only causing havoc<br>> to the environment, but also further damage when imitated by the rest of the<br>> people in a vicious circle of status<br>> seeking through material possession. While irresponsible financial<br>> institutions and governments are rightly at<br>> the forefront of public criticism, this crisis has deeper structural causes.<br>> The so-called anti-crisis measures that<br>> seek to boost economic growth will worsen inequalities and environmental<br>> conditions in the long-run.
The<br>> illusion of a "debt-fuelled growth", i.e. forcing the economy to grow in<br>> order to pay the debts, will finish in<br>> social disaster, displacing economic and ecological debts to the future and<br>> to the poor. A process of degrowth<br>> of the world economy is inevitable and will be beneficial for the<br>> environment. The challenge is how to manage<br>> it so that it turns out to be socially sustainable and equitable both inside<br>> each country and in the world. The<br>> Degrowth movement has been born in rich countries, in Europe and elsewhere.<br>> This is where it has to start.<br>> Academics, activists and practitioners met in Barcelona to structure<br>> proposals towards an alternative,<br>> sustainable and equitable degrowth society. An inclusive process was<br>> followed, something almost<br>> unprecedented for an international conference. In addition to standard<br>> scientific
presentations some 29 working<br>> group discussions brought participants together to discuss hands-on policies<br>> for degrowth and identify the<br>> research questions these generate. Economic, social and environmental topics<br>> were brought together. New ideas<br>> and issues never before discussed in the context of sustainable development<br>> were put on the table: currencies<br>> and financial institutions, social security and working hours, population<br>> and resource consumption, moratoria<br>> on infrastructures and resource sanctuaries, restrictions to advertising and<br>> many others. The results of this<br>> innovative process are hard to capture on paper and synthesise in a short<br>> declaration. We welcome those<br><span>> interested to look at the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.degrowth.eu">www.degrowth.eu</a> where the results of the working</span><br>> groups are presented in
detail.<br>> A wealth of new proposals came up including among several others:<br>> facilitation of local currencies and gradual<br>> elimination of fiat money; promotion of small scale self-managed companies;<br>> defending local commons and<br>> establishing new jurisdictions for global commons; establishing integrated<br>> policies of reduced working hours<br>> (work-sharing) and introduction of a basic income; institutionalization of<br>> an income ceiling based on<br>> maximum-minimum ratios; discouraging the consumption of non-durable goods<br>> and the under-use of durable<br>> ones, such as houses, by regulation, taxation or bottom-up approaches;<br>> abandonment of large-scale<br>> infrastructure such as nuclear plants, dams, incinerators, high-speed<br>> transportation; conversion of car-based<br>> infrastructure to walking, biking and open common spaces; taxing advertising<br>> heavily and
banning it from<br>> public spaces; support from the environmental justice movements of the South<br>> that complain against resource<br>> extraction, introduction of global extractive moratoria on areas with high<br>> biodiversity and cultural value, and<br>> compensations for leaving resources under the ground; denouncing top-down<br>> population control measures<br>> while supporting women’s reproductive rights, conscious procreation and the<br>> right to freely migrate while<br>> welcoming a decrease in world birth rates; de-commercialization of politics<br>> and enhancement of direct<br>> participation in decision-making.<br>> These proposals are not utopian: new redistributive taxes will finance<br>> social investments and discourage<br>> consumption and environmental damage, while reduced working hours with a<br>> reinforced social security system<br>> will manage unemployment. As the economy will
quietly contract and our<br>> damage on the environment through<br>> new infrastructures and extraction activities will be constrained,<br>> well-being will increase through public<br>> investments in low-cost social and relational goods.<br>> Every new proposal generates several new objections and questions. We do not<br>> claim to have a recipe for a<br>> future. But we know that we can no longer pretend that we can keep growing<br>> as if nothing has happened. The<br>> folly of growth has come to the end. The challenge now is how to adapt. The<br>> debate has just started.<br>><br>><br>><br>><br>> ________________________________<br>> Hotmail: posta elettronica attendibile grazie alla protezione avanzata<br>> Microsoft dalla posta indesiderata.
