Europe, It’s time to end growth dependency.
On occasion of the Post-Growth conference at the EU Parliament, over 200 scientists sent a letter to the EU institutions and member states. This conference is a huge step towards seeing a healthy economic shift towards Post Growth in the EU. The letter was published by The Guardian, and over 15 EU newspapers.
The main goals for the petition include:
1. Constitute a special commission on Post-Growth Futures in the EU Parliament.
2. Prioritise social and environmental indicators.
3. Turn the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) into a Stability and Wellbeing Pact.
4. Establish a Ministry for Economic Transition in each member state

Please sign the petition, and spread it widely. Anyone is welcome to sign it, scientists or not, European or not. A post-growth future concerns us all!
