The Economy for the Common Good (ECG) spokespeople team and Youth Hub united to support a Manifesto published by Generation Climate Europe (GCE). This document calls for an intergenerationally just post-growth European economy. It explores a message proved by science and its potential solutions: the younger generations are to inherit an uninhabitable planet. Capitalism is at the center of a raging eco-social crisis, that will continue to develop in the pursue of limitless economic growth in a finite planet, at the expense of all living creatures and the environment. However, there’s still time to introduce specific, real and effective changes in the economic system that alter this future towards a post-growth and postcolonial society.
