BEYOND GROWTH
IN A NUTSHELL
Our current economic system functions like a vast, resource-devouring machine—one that our planet can no longer sustain. It’s time to scale down this madness. I believe that living better lives is the main antidote to achieving so.
This 90 minutes course is built on a simple but powerful idea: we need to take much less, but this can also mean moving from scarcity to abundance.
The future is unwritten — and it’s ours to shape.
Be brave enough to lead the way.
