Well and evokingly written! Degrowth is revolutionary thinking, which is sometimes not accepted easily by the current BIG economic players. Therefore, with a good intention to transition, there is a rise in economic activity’s externalities to be promoted as part of near- and long-term cash flows in the finance world. One of the most progressive frameworks is Sustainable Finance 3.0 by Schoenmaker (2017) which optimizes social and environmental impact subject to financial value.
Irrespective of multiple views on facing this transition period, I principally agree with the notion that sustainability is an urgent issue to be addressed because, as well as said by former UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon, “there can be no Plan B because there is no Planet B”.
