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.
