The past years have clearly shown that climate change is already in full swing. In order to limit global warming to a maximum of 2 degrees Celsius, a number of economic solutions have been proposed. Do we need a profound structural change towards a post-growth and „Gemeinwohl“ – economy? Are ecology and wealth at odds with each other? Or is an economic model possible that is not based on overexploitation while allowing  a growth “with nature”?

Can technical innovation solve our environmental problems? In short, how can a transformation to a sustainable economic model succeed?

As part of the Greenmotions Film Festival’s Special Topic „Green Growth or De-growth“, we will be screening three films accompanied by live discussions and a Q & A. All events take place in the Kommunales Kino (The old Wiehrebahnhof) Urachstr. 40, 79102, Freiburg.
