5th International Degrowth Conference Budapest 2016

Walking the meaningful great transformations?

Venue

Fővám tér 8, 1093 Hungary

Meeting place

Corvinus University Budapest

Degrowth has emerged over the last 10 years. This “bomb word” has been used to inspire in-depth debates on whether infinite growth in a finite world is desirable or even possible. The main goal of the Budapest Degrowth conference and week is on one hand to question the limits to growth in understanding the challenges faced by society and on the other hand to implement dialogue about solutions on different levels.
