I hope this will be the year when we have the bravery to ask ourselves: does the endless pursuit of growth make our lives worthwhile? ✒️ JamesGDyke for ipaperviews
Rather than starting from where we are now – a world of extraordinary inequality – the researchers considered how could all of humanity’s needs be met. How much energy and materials would that require? The surprising result is that everyone in a global population of 10 billion would be able access good quality services, without the climate and ecological destruction of today. We just need to share more of the resources we currently have.
We could realise a world in which no one goes hungry, where no one fears for their future. A world where dangerous climate change has been averted and our biosphere has begun to heal. At the same time we could spend more of our lives doing the things that makes us happy. Spending time with friends and loved ones, doing meaningful work, pursuing hobbies. I’m sure that sounds like wishful thinking. It certainly feels light years away from the position of today’s mainstream political parties.
But it’s always darkest before the dawn. And so I look towards this year and hope that this will be the year when we have the bravery to ask ourselves: does the endless pursuit of growth really make our lives worthwhile?
