About Us

Degrowth Switzerland pursues the vision of a socio-ecologically just and growth-independent Switzerland. Our goal is a sustainable economy that enables a good life for all.

We contribute to establishing post-growth analyses and solutions in public debate and political decision-making. To this end, we carry out educational work, serve as a platform for the Swiss de- growth movement and seek dialogue with all relevant actors.

Our activities include:

• Organising lecture series, lectures, discussion events (and perhaps the occasional party)
• Publishing strategy papers and statements
• Communicating research results to a broad public
• Exchanging and cooperating with other social movements
• Supporting, networking and training people from academic as well as practice backgrounds
• Hosting discussions with actors from politics, administration, economy and society

Degrowth Switzerland is committed to working towards a democratic society organised on the ba- sis of solidarity and equity. We do not accept discriminatory or inhuman behaviours and views. In our own work, we try to be sensitive towards intertwined societal discrimination, e.g. on the basis of gender, (ascribed) origin, sexual orientation, class or dis_ability.
