A quality check of some proposals for changing money-as-usual (2013, background): “…and exists mainly as the banner of a social movement originating in France in the early 2000s (Martínez-Alier et al., 2010), and increasingly also as the subject of academic debate (see e.g. Cattaneo et al., 2012, Kallis et al., 2010, Kallis et al., 2012, Saed, 2012, Sekulova et al., 2013).”
The Green Economy and Sustainable Development: An Uneasy Balance? (2013, background): “The degrowth movement (Flipo and Schneider, 2008; Kallis et al, 2012; Latouche, 2010; Research and Degrowth, 2010; Spangenberg, 2010) is part of this category.”

Linking Industrial Ecology and Ecological Economics: A Theoretical and Empirical Foundation for the Circular Economy (2019, background): “On the grounds of EE, one needs to question the economic growth imperative and replace the mainstream focus on human welfare with a broader one on ultimate ends of human activity, such as well-being and especially happiness (Kallis et al. 2012; Jackson 2011).”
Fossil fuel depletion and socio-economic scenarios: An integrated approach (2014, background): “…different socio-economic paradigm scenarios can be modeled in order to propose real sustainable future paths such as those proposed by Degrowth (Kallis et al., 2012), Steady-State (Daly, 1996; Kerschner, 2010) or the New Economics of Prosperity (Jackson, 2009) and are the subject of current…”
Sustainability Transitions Research: Transforming Science and Practice for Societal Change (2017, background): “New issues that are already emerging, within the context of the current transition management regime, are, for example, investigating processes of destabilization and collapse (39), economic stagnation and degrowth (160), transition in the democratic system (74), and bridging the gap between descrip”
Transforming Consumption: From Decoupling, to Behavior Change, to System Changes for Sustainable Consumption (2015, background): “Peter Victor’s (6) model p r i d e of the Canadian economy under a planned degrowth scenario shows that with several key policies, such as a gradual work hour reduction to 25% of current levels A cce a substantial carbon tax, unemployment, poverty, and the debt-to-GDP ratio can actually decrease.”
Future green economies and regional development: a research agenda (2017, unknown): “However, definitions of ‘prosperous’ in this context are qualitatively different to contemporaneous understandings, and might involve valuing time to grow one’s own food, or spending time with family and friends, rather than having the newest car or a foreign holiday (Kallis et al., 2012).”
Research On Degrowth (2018, unknown): “These policies limit the environmental throughput and redirect technological change to increase resource efficiency rather than labor productivity (65, 68, 72).”
Material Flow Accounting: Measuring Global Material Use for Sustainable Development (2017, background): “Therefore, many scholars doubt that absolute decoupling of economic growth from material use and environmental impact is possible at all and instead call for a far-reaching transformation of the economic system and a shift in focus from economic growth toward human well-being or prosperity (125, 132”
A meta-analysis investigation of the direction of the energy-GDP causal relationship: implications for the growth-degrowth dialogue (2014, background): “The contemporary debate on growth, a-growth and degrowth (van Griethuysen, 2010; van den Bergh, 2011; Kallis, 2011; Kallis et al., 2012; Victor, 2012) represents, in fact, an update of the long-standing dialogue over the scarcity of natural resources at the aggregate level, and constraints on econom”
Is Green Growth Possible? (2019, unknown): “Staying within planetary boundaries may require a de-growth of production and consumption in high-consuming nations (Victor 2008, Jackson 2009, Alier 2009, Kallis 2011, Kallis et al. 2012), and a shift away from the narrow growth-focused development agenda in the global South.”
