“The old world is dying and a new world is struggling to be born” - Antonio Gramsci

Following the successful European Beyond Growth 2023 Conference, we are ready to continue this kōrero in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This interactive event will provide a forum to share the latest knowledge and insights related to ecological economics, resource scarcity and the planned response measures that could be taken to strengthen resilience and maximise future opportunities.

Day 1 will cover opportunities and challenges at a systems level, Te Ao Māori perspectives, government policy and business strategies.

Day 2 will explore practical action drawing on community, local government and ethical, circular business perspectives.

There will be opportunities to network with experts, peers, and decision-makers faced with similar challenges. Zero-waste catering will be provided but we encourage all participants to BYO drink bottles and coffee cups.

A degrowth ticketing system is in place to ensure equity for all event attendees. If you can, please consider a pay-it-forward ticket allowing someone a free or subsidised place.

Dates & times: Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 September, 10am-5pm

Location: Rutherford House, 33 Bunny Street, Pipitea Victoria University, Wellington.
