Maybe this is the main target audience, because business-as-usual compatible green growth ideologies are still dominating the political discourse, also of mainstream green parties (e.g. in Germany).

The decision to avoid the word "degrowth" and use "beyond growth" instead, might be a concession to be more easy to digest for a wider public, but I can live with that.

The policy recommendations outlined in the report touch important areas, but but the ideas then need to be translated into more specific and achievable policy recommendations at the local/regional/national scale.

From #TriodosBank’s Economic Outlook 2024: “At the heart of [the] issue is a dependency on growth, which Triodos Bank believes needs to be reconsidered. This presents substantial implications for investors, but more crucially, for the future of humanity.” 💯triodos.com/en/press-releases/
