DoomsdaysCW<p>Excerpt from "What is <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Solarpunk</span></a> Everything you need to know about solarpunk, how it connects to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateJustice</span></a> and how to get involved with the movement" by Andrew Sage, published January 16, 2023:</p><p>How does solarpunk relate to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>degrowth</span></a>?</p><p>"The overlap between solarpunk and the degrowth movement can be found in the understanding that <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a>’s built-in imperative to grow, expand, exploit, and profit endlessly cannot continue in the context of a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FinitePlanet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FinitePlanet</span></a>.</p><p>"The degrowth movement is about rejecting the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalCapitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalCapitalist</span></a> system’s pursuit of endless growth and advocating for a world based in care, solidarity, and autonomy in which our social and ecological well-being are at the forefront. </p><p>"Degrowth means <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateJustice</span></a> and a good life for all within <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PlanetaryBoundaries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PlanetaryBoundaries</span></a>. </p><p>"Although aspects of solarpunk and degrowth may benefit from particular government policies, these movements cannot rely on the state. The state is structurally unsuited to ecological restoration, and can even potentially operate as an obstacle. </p><p>"The inherently violent and ecocidal character that has marked states from their earliest inception and up to their present incarnations does not lend itself to our liberation. Top-down approaches have consistently failed where local approaches to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rewilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rewilding</span></a> have succeeded.</p><p>"The solarpunk movement emphasises local power, local organising, and local <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/autonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>autonomy</span></a> because the world we envision cannot be imposed from above. </p><p>"A forest is more than its trees; ecological restoration requires intimate knowledge with the local nuances of the land, the water cycle, and the network of microorganisms, fungi, plants, and animals that sustain it. </p><p>"Our planet will be healed on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/grassroots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grassroots</span></a> level. We will need to circumvent the impositions of those in power through direct action to bring a solarpunk world into being."</p><p><a href="https://shado-mag.com/all/what-is-solarpunk/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">shado-mag.com/all/what-is-sola</span><span class="invisible">rpunk/</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiCapitalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Degrowth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TheLimitsToGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TheLimitsToGrowth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sustainability</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ecosystem</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NatureBasedLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureBasedLearning</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NatureObservations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NatureObservations</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SharingEconomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SharingEconomy</span></a></p>

The team behind it, led by Dennis Meadows, found that continuing with a '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BusinessAsUsual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BusinessAsUsual</span></a>” <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>growth</span></a> model would likely lead to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environmental</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/economic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>economic</span></a> collapse within a century. At the time, their discoveries sparked huge controversy among scientists, scholars, and the general public. In the decades since, those discoveries have been supported by patterns of growth, environmental health, and resource use.</p><p>"Today, forty years after its release, The Limits to Growth remains an important resource for anyone hoping to understand more about the complex system that is our planet.
