The 8th International Degrowth Conference, in The Hague, starts today. With dozens of academic sessions, plenaries, workshops and artistic contributions, the event aims to strengthen the debate not only on degrowth, but also on feminist political ecology, care, decolonialities, urban-rural dialogues and social movements.
To help navigate the extensive program, we prepared a selection of activities in which WEGO-ITN members are involved, and also more highlight from today to Saturday, August 28th. You can see them all on this Twitter thread:
