Degrowth is gaining traction as a viable alternative to mainstream approaches sustainability. However, translating degrowth insights into concrete strategies of collective action remains challenge. To address this challenge, paper develops perspective for strategic spatial planning well approach degrowth. I argue that transition needs three issues: depth, agency, and trajectory. aim satiation, the satisfaction all essential in particular society. do so, they rely on diffused societal power, raising from existing practices reduction. Strategies also follow nonlinear trajectory seeks prefigure popularize it among masses, then pressure institutions. Strategic offers important dealing with these challenges but embrace satiation goal. It can so by creating complementarities between prefigurative perform satiation. The article defines illustrates processes looking at making Amsterdam’s ‘doughnut’ strategy.

Empirical evidence increasingly indicates that to achieve sufficiently rapid decarbonisation, high-income economies may need adopt degrowth policies, scaling down less-necessary forms of production and demand, in addition deployment renewables. Calls have been made for climate mitigation scenarios. However, so far these not modelled within the established Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) future scenario analysis energy-economy-emission nexus, partly because architecture IAMs has growth 'baked in'. In this work, we modify one common – MESSAGEix make it compatible with We simulate scenarios featuring low negative a economy (Australia). by detaching from its monotonically growing utility function, formulating an alternative function based on non-monotonic preferences. The outcomes such modified reflect some characteristics futures, including reduced aggregate declining energy emissions. further work is needed explore other key features as sectoral differentiation, redistribution, provisioning system transformation.

Many scholars have called for a profound change in capitalist growth-oriented provisioning systems and business models to help address the unique socio-ecological challenges of 21st century. Reenvisaging how work is organised, constructed, valued an essential part this change. Scholars degrowth, post-growth, postcapitalist, craft research long discussed alternatives from different perspectives levels analysis. We believe that cross-fertilisation ideas between these strands literature can advance our imaginaries future transition pathways towards vision dealienated labour. For purpose, we bring into conversation by performing critical review on scholarship. Overall, 121 articles were included identify autonomy, dealienation, value creation as common themes with complementary insights literature. also observe macroeconomic policies suggested post-growth postcapitalist provide institutional framework be compatible micropolitics work, documented scholars. Lastly, empirically grounded analysis what it means engage useful doing, whereas degrowth mainly contains theoretical reflections decommodification labour, recognition reproductive labour creation.

Abstract Although the Japanese government is an early adopter of Circular Economy (CE) policies and developed concept Sound Material-Cycle Society in 2000s, its CE have nonetheless been poorly researched understood, especially English academic literature. This article addresses this research gap by answering following questions: What are dominant discourses key stakeholders Japan regarding CE? And to what extent does current policy relate that? Methodologically, paper conducted a discourse analysis through mix analysis, media stakeholder interviews, keyword mining, qualitative content presence. Results show that, while rather diverse, they mostly fall within Reformist type, with some smaller Technocentric Transformational elements. also that businesses academics were over-represented meetings media, compared NGOs local actors, which more likely hold transformational circularity discourses. Most thus focused on growth-optimistic narrative emphasises innovative technologies lacks stronger understanding social justice planetary boundaries. Based these findings, suggests recommendations, such as revisiting ecological thinking Buddhist philosophy, can inspire degrowth-oriented approaches, well encompassing participation neglected societal groups development implementation practices. By highlighting challenges Japan, study presents implications for socially inclusive ecologically sustainable path towards circular society.

This paper examines the role of "municipal scale" for institutionalisation post-growth-oriented arrangements. It develops an approach that foregrounds everyday making and unmaking growth dependencies, which it puts into conversation with relational spatial thinking trans-institutional orientation new municipalist scholarship. Weaving together insights from both literatures, outlines what means to focus transformations beyond at municipal scale, strategic rationale behind this focus, legal consequences thereof. In doing so, identifies scale as a salient entry point address conceptual empirical tensions between state- community-led – challenge impinges on post-growth research specifically. Following analysis scalar constitution, relevance, viability argues more space scale-sensitive policy.
