Abstract
In 2010, the Second Conference on Economic Degrowth for Ecological Sustainability and Social Equity in Barcelona, Spain, convened more than 500 participants from over 40 countries to discuss how to intentionally “degrow” the global economy.

A variety of academic papers were discussed—from the mechanics of economic degrowth to strategies on how to pursue and communicate this challenging concept.1
