DESCRIPTION:It makes sense for the EU to be a frontrunner in the transiti
 on to a degrowth society. This is a matter of ecological justice: EU cou
 ntries bear the greatest historical responsibility for the crises of cli
 mate and biodiversity\, and can free up natural resources for the Global
  South without loss of wellbeing.\n\nBut what would degrowth mean for ge
 opolitics? Can a Europe that is the first to renounce economic growth st
 ill remain (or become) a global player? Will it be able to defend itself
 \, its allies\, democracy and the international rule of law against aggr
 essive autocrats? After all\, the power of countries and alliances is la
 rgely determined by their wealth and military capabilities. Without bill
 ions in Western support\, both money and arms\, Ukraine would not be abl
 e to hold out against the Russian aggressor.\n\nThis panel brings togeth
 er policymakers\, experts and practitioners for a frank conversation on 
 the geopolitical risks and opportunities for a degrowth Europe. What con
 cepts\, alliances\, or alternative forms of power might answer to the ch
 allenge of combining ecological\, democratic\, and geopolitical resilien
 ce?
