This is a great list - sadly Alberto hasn't provided links so you'll have to do web searches, avoiding google and Amazon (the firm) of course!

🌍 Rethinking Economics for a Sustainable Future 🌍
As the social-ecological crisis reveals the deep flaws of our current economic systems, we must explore bold alternatives. On April 2nd, I’ll be presenting at an INDEP online talk, where we introduce our latest scientific model—an integrated framework uniting economic, ecological, and social dimensions.

Stocks, Flows und Institutionen: Ein Vortrag Éric Pineaults zur Einführung in die soziale Ökologie des Kapitals

Ich bin auf der Suche nach Einführungen und Zusammenfassungen, die den Zugang zu Éric Pineaults Buch „A Social Ecology of Capital“ (Pineault, 2023a) erleichtern, über das ich neulich gebloggt habe. Eine niederschwellige kurze Einführung in sein Buch hat Pineault in einem Vortrag gegeben, den man sich auf YouTube anschauen kann (Pineault, 2023b). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4X6zRgmP6Io&list=PLJ9WRXLow7NJBcauTRODgNe1oJ-O9PL8A Dieser Vortrag zeigt sehr gut seinen Ansatz, wirtschaftliche Prozesse als materielle Phänomene zu analysieren, die von Institutionen gesteuert werden.

Bieten Zertifikate, die #Nachhaltigkeit versprechen, Schutz für Kleinproduzierende und die #Umwelt?

Forschende haben die Auswirkungen von Zertifizierungen auf den Kakaoanbau in #Ghana untersucht. Sie fanden heraus, dass sich Ertrag und Einkommen durch Zertifikate wie Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance und Cocoa Life verbessern – aber was ist mit der #Biodiversität? uni-goettingen.de/de/3240.html

Do certificates promising #sustainability give protection for small-scale producers and the environment?

Researchers investigated effects of certification on cocoa cultivation in Ghana. They found yield and income were improved by certificates such as Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance and Cocoa Life - but what about #biodiversity? uni-goettingen.de/en/3240.html

The party began by setting the mood (and the blockades).

Our reasons to occupy the airport are grounded in science. Private jets are 10 times more carbon intensive than airliners, and 50 times more polluting than trains. A four-hour private flight emits as much as the average European person does in a year. Research studies show that we could easily raise in excess of $100 billion a year by taxing frequent fliers.

As NASA climate scientist Peter Kalmus has explained: "“The rich are destroying the planet, the damage is irreversible, and we have to stop them. Banning private jets, taxing frequent flyers, and making the polluters pay is a first step.”.

And so, our blockade was enriched by a reading session with books on the science of the #ClimateCrisis, #Degrowth, #Postgrowth, #ClimateJustice, #EcologicalEconomics and #DirectAction. Who says we can't learn something while we are breaking the law? 2/n

"The literature on degrowth routinely argues (appropriately so) that the global north rather than the global south must be the target for change, but it may well be that the vanguard for degrowth resides, paradoxically, in the global south. It may be that subconscious bias causes us to believe that the global south must catch up with the economic production of the wealthiest states, rather than encouraging us to imagine that the wealthy states need to catch up to the level of consciousness displayed by the most radical societies in the global south."

resilience · Is Degrowth an Academic Field or a Mass Movement? Taking Degrowth to the People!Degrowth, I believe, is at a critical cross road - advocates must now choose to continue to regard degrowth as an unending thought experiment, or to take degrowth into communities of ordinary folks.
