"Many complementary currencies are young- and some have even failed. Or have they? Is it really a failure when something that is under development...develops?" #PostGrowth Affiliate, Lena Bjärskog, recently attended the Monetary Diversity conference in Liège — she shares her reflections and key takeaways from the event, which covered topics from #crypto to #community currencies, physical vouchers, #time #banking, Offers and Needs Markets, cooperative banking, and more! Our very own Donnie Maclurcan was also in attendance presenting on “Post-growth #Money.” https://lnkd.in/get-wjnu Nicolas Franka

“If the government cannot create happiness for its people, then there is no purpose for government to exist” (Bhutan’s ancient legal code of 1629). Alternatives to GDP exist–and they are flourishing worldwide. Gross National Happiness (GNH) Centre Bhutan is pleased to announce the #launch of a GNH Centre in #Australia in Melbourne on August 23, 2024 with side events in Sydney on August 28, 2024 in partnership with the Small Giants Academy.  For more information about GNH and event registration, visit www.gnhcentrebhutan.org. #gnh #bhutan #gdp #alternatives #economy #happiness #metric #framework #measure #wellbeing #sustainability #governance #diversity #ecology #community #resilience #health #education #time #livingstandards #psychology #material #society 

"We're not talking about #postgrowth, we're talking about #relationships." Crystal Arnold (PGI Director of Education) and Daniel Christian Wahl spend 60 minutes unpacking ways to build community resilience, cultures of trust and care, and methods the Post Growth Institute uses daily in its organization to cultivate living beyond growth: https://lnkd.in/drDZgN7V Sociocracy For All, Bari Tessler, M.A., Ted Rau, Thomas Hübl, PhD, Riane Eisler, Deborah A #community #trust #care #beyondgrowth

Micro-revolutions have nothing to do with violence, abruptness, or the territory conquest by the victors. They are about #dialogue, #advocacy and #slow, gradual change to build a society and a planet that accommodates all. #PostGrowth Fellow and tourismologist, Mariana Madureira, explores how getting to know #alternative #cultures can open our minds to slow, collective change and help counter the #polycrises of our time — sharing examples from #Brazil, which is home to 1.7 million #Indigenous people from over 250 different cultural groups: https://lnkd.in/g6sRVmpw Raízes Desenvolvimento Sustentável, Wellbeing Economy Alliance - WEAll, Andreia Duarte, André Vaz, Lizandra Barbuto, Lucila Egydio #tourism

Processing the dissonance of the #Olympics feels like a microcosm of our wider dilemma — and an exciting opportunity to reimagine them. 🏅 What might the Olympics look like if the entire ecosystem were #notforprofit, running in the interests of the #athletes, the host #communities, the #environment, and spectators? PGI team member Natalie Holmes shares what she loved about the Games, and what we need to leave behind — inviting us to reflect on what a #postgrowth Olympics might look like: https://lnkd.in/gDHtwE7X ⤵ #Share your thoughts in the comments!

"Is the #climate #crisis an environmental crisis? No, because today we know what we could do to stop these crises environmentally, but we do not. At this point, these issues cease to be environmental crises. All the crises we are experiencing today are crises of #democracy, #justice, and #distribution." #PostGrowth Fellow, Ekin AL, explores how #finance and #impact #investing can be reimagined - and its role in designing post-growth economies for a fairer, regenerative world: https://lnkd.in/g3n9rAVF Onarım Atölyesi | Regenerative Impact Space, Doughnut Economics Action Lab (DEAL), Erinch Sahan, Can Atacik, Melanie Rieback, Post Growth Entrepreneurship, Mariana Mazzucato, Post Growth Guide #economy #sustainability #esg #greenwashing #innovation #models #inspiration
