Rethinking Economic Policy in the EU

Landmark conference hosted at the EU parliament, exploring visions and solutions for a post-growth economy in Europe; with Tim Jackson
Brussels, 18-20 September 2018

On 18-20 September 2018, scientists, politicians, and policymakers are gathering in Brussels for a landmark conference in Brussels, the first Post-Growth Conference for Europe.

Hosted at the EU parliament, the three day event is a joint effort by multiple stakeholders and MEPs from various political groups, set out to explore visions and solutions for a post-growth economy in Europe.

The Post-Growth 2018 Conference builds on thematic workshops organised by a variety of parliamentarians, political groups and organisations; and will be followed by a wrap-up session hosted by the European Trade Union Confederation.

CUSP Director Prof Tim Jackson, a co-developer of the conference, will be giving a keynote presentation at the opening session on Tuesday, 18 September.

An open letter to raise awareness for the conference and the underlying Post-Growth Challenge was published in The Guardian. Signed by 238 leading economists and scientists, the letter was translated into 15 languages and published in leading newsletters across Europe. A petition based on the letter can be accessed and signed via the degrowth.org website.

Sluggish recovery in the wake of the financial crisis has revived discussion of a ‘secular stagnation’. These conditions have been blamed for rising inequality and political instability. Tim Jackson contests this view, pointing instead to a steadfast refusal to address the ‘post-growth challenge’.

The UK is becoming an angry, divided and insecure country, Alan Simpson writes. Right now, it doesn’t have to be that bad. But we don’t have much time to play with. Another world is still (just) possible, but we need the courage to build it, now.
