The Beyond Growth Conference Italy 2024 aims to explore and promote alternative economic models that prioritize sustainability, social justice, and well-being over traditional growth metrics. The conference seeks to facilitate dialogue and collaboration among policymakers, academics, activists, and the public to envision and implement strategies that address the pressing environmental and social challenges of our time. By fostering interdisciplinary discussions and innovative thinking, the event aspires to contribute to the development of a more resilient and equitable society in both Italy and Europe.
The Beyond Growth Conference Italy 2024 is a significant event aimed at addressing and rethinking traditional economic models in light of the urgent environmental and social challenges of our time. Taking place in Italy, this conference represents a unique opportunity to bring together experts, policymakers, academics, activists, and citizens with the common goal of exploring alternatives to conventional economic growth.
The concept of "beyond growth" is grounded in the understanding that economic progress measured solely by GDP is neither sustainable nor desirable. Climate crises, social inequality, and environmental degradation demand a radical shift in how we perceive development and well-being. The conference aims to promote economic models that prioritize sustainability, social justice, and the well-being of people and the planet.
Through a series of sessions, panels, and workshops, the Beyond Growth Conference will provide a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue and the sharing of innovative ideas. Key topics such as decoloniality, intersectionality, climate and environmental justice, and degrowth practices will be explored. The event will foster collaboration across various sectors of society to develop concrete strategies that can be implemented at local, regional, and global levels.
