Accelerationist possibilities in an ecosocialist degrowth scenario

If high-income countries are to decarbonize fast enough to stay within their fair-share of Paris-compliant carbon budgets, then urgent climate mitigation tasks – like building renewable energy capacity, insulating buildings, expanding public transit, innovating and distributing more efficient technologies, regenerating land, etc – need to happen very quickly.

Why wage work?

There is so much work that needs to be done, and almost none of it is in an office or a shop. The garden of the world needs to be weeded. This home needs to be cleaned. This body needs nourishing food. And we all need to rest and recover — so we may build new, more durable, more beautiful, more rewarding relationships with the world when the spring returns.
