Monthly Webinars
In the fall of 2024 and the spring of 2025, the Gemini Centre for Post Growth Futures, together with Post CC and others, will host a monthly webinar series.
About the project
This is Post CC
Background
Until now, high consumption has been associated with growth and prosperity. However, growth and uncritical use of resources have a downside that is becoming increasingly apparent in today's society. More and more people and communities are realizing this and are looking for alternatives to growth to enhance their quality of life and well-being at home, at work, and during their leisure time. This is what we want to explore further.
What we are doing
Through a media and literature analysis, we will examine how people and communities enhance their quality of life and well-being without it being synonymous with economic growth and consumption. In addition, we will conduct case studies to explore what motivates and characterizes both new and established initiatives that make it possible to live with lower consumption.
Aims
The goal of Post CC is to establish a knowledge base for understanding what kinds of resources and infrastructure are necessary to support the transition from economic growth to more sustainable alternatives. The project is carried out by NTNU Samfunnsforskning AS (project owner) and NTNU. The Research Council of Norway is the project's sponsor.
