Heated Debates & Misconceptions about Degrowth (Timothée Parrique)
Channel: Metabolism of Cities
Date: 2021-10-06

📺 Welcome to the Circular Metabolism podcast 📺. Hello everyone and Welcome to the Circular Metabolism podcast, I am your host, Aristide from Metabolism of Cities. In this podcast we interview thinkers, researchers, activists, policy makers and practitioners to better understand the metabolism of our cities and how to reduce their environmental impact in a socially just and context-specific way. 

On today’s episode I want to go back to a topic that we briefly covered previously and get a bit more technical or encyclopedical. This concept is getting more and more popular although it is still very badly understood or used. I’m talking about the concept of Degrowth. To clarify some misconceptions about this topic I’ve invited Timothée Parrique, a researcher that holds a PhD from the University of Clermont Auvergne and the Stockholm resilience centre entitle “The political economy of degrowth”. Timothée is very active online where he collects and digests most work on degrowth but he also responds to media articles that cover degrowth both positively and negatively. 

On this episode, we talk about numerous facets of #degrowth, why this concept has created numerous heated debates and why it is stool widely misunderstood.
