After almost a year of tireless work we are proud to present our degrowth library. Here you can find various materials related to the transition to an economy independent from economic growth. The library already contains almost 700 entries, from introductory videos to newspaper articles and scientific publications in different languages. Diverse search options and an extensive list of themes make it easy to filter the existing material.

With the library, the team of the degrowth web portal hopes to make existing media easily accessible and to support the degrowth movement which is currently gaining momentum. The library will remain up to date as more materials are continuously added. We wish you much fun exploring the library!

On the contrary, the mission statement of the degrow...
