We are an autonomous collective that promotes a vision of sustainable degrowth in the Czech Republic.
The current economic setup fails to provide a good life for all and yet exceeds the planetary limits. Despite enormous material wealth, it does not meet the basic needs of a large part of the world's population. It is creating ever greater inequalities and concentrations of power, undermining our freedom and democracy. A focus on green growth will not solve our problems, as numerous scientific studies have shown. We need to start addressing the causes and not just the symptoms of the current crises.
That is why we advocate degrowth. A vision of a more democratic, sustainable, free and just society. Degrowth offers inspiration for the level of individuals, institutions, companies and the state that contribute to a better quality of human life within the limits of the planet and the liberation from the dependence on the constant growth of production and consumption.

How do we contribute to the vision of degrowth?
- we are creating a degrowth website
- we lecture and teach, we have given over 150 lectures

- we organise Degrowth academy
- we are working on Summer school of degrowth

Successful enforcement of degrowth requires significant financial resources and human effort. Our group has been operating since 2021 and most of our work is in an unsustainable volunteer mode, which is not ideal for stable degrowth advocacy.
