Degrowth is about living better with less; having a higher quality of life while using less energy and material resources. Degrowth critiques capitalism for pursuing economic growth at all costs while causing human exploitation and environmental destruction. The degrowth movement advocates for societies to prioritize social and ecological well-being over corporate profits and ever-increasing production and consumption. This requires a radical redistribution of wealth and resources, a reduction in the material size of the global economy, and a shift in values towards care, community, and equity. Degrowth means transforming societies to ensure environmental justice and a good life for all within planetary boundaries. In other words, living simply so that others, human and non-human, may simply live.
