Commons Network, 9 December 2024:
On Friday 29th of November, Commons Network co-hosted a roundtable and a panel discussion about postgrowth in Madrid! It was an occasion to bring together members of Parliament from our Postgrowth pan-European network, and to learn from Spanish politics at a time when the rest of Europe is facing a conservative backlash.
Roundtable with MPs – How to organize work in a democratic post-growth economy?
In the morning, we were hosted by the Spanish green-left coalition SUMAR in the Spanish Congress. We brought together MPs from Spain, France, Croatia and Slovenia for a roundtable on post-growth approaches to work. In a growth-centered economy, environmental protection has too often come at the expense of workers protection. The post-growth perspective offers a way out of this dilemma, by putting forth policy tools that at the same time ensure dignified jobs for all and restructure our economy to respect planetary boundaries. UN Special Rapporteur Olivier de Schutter presented his research on postgrowth1, poverty and work, and Carlos Martin Urriza presented SUMAR’s policy of work time reduction.
