Why We Need Degrowth in 2026

The thumbnail artist, Sean Bodley, can be found here: https://storyseedlibrary.org/authors/seanbodley/ In this Our Changing Climate climate change video essay, I explore why we need degrowth this year, the next year, and many years into the future. Specifically, I ask questions like what is degrowth? and why do we need degrowth? in order to truly understand how we might build a more ecologically harmonious world and escape the climate crisis. Additionally, I argue that degrowth can't exist under capitalism and that for degrowth to be truly successful, we need an ecosocialist degrowth. This podcast is best in video form! You can watch this one and 200+ more on the Our Changing Climate YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@OurChangingClimate In this Our Changing Climate climate change podcast, I examine how we can plug into climate groups to take climate action. Individual, consumer actions are not enough to prevent climate change. We must band together for collective action to prevent climate change and build an ecosocialist future.
