Degrowth Movement Gathers in Naarm/Melbourne for Sustainable Future Festival in December 2025
The Degrowth movement, which challenges the global capitalist system and advocates for environmental justice and a sustainable future, is set to gather in Naarm/Melbourne for its next festival in December 2025. This event, organized by Degrowth Network Australia, Brunswick Tool Library, and Sustain: The Australian Food Network, promises to be a vibrant celebration of local initiatives and community engagement.
The festival, a biennial event held in Naarm/Melbourne, is organized by local degrowth groups. In 2024, the Melbourne Degrowth Collective took the lead. The Commons librarians have archived resources from these past festivals, providing a wealth of information for attendees and organizers alike.
Each festival features a bustling marketplace with dozens of stalls. Visitors can explore local food systems, innovative technologies, and lost trades. Activist groups, social centers, and tool libraries also play a significant role. The event is not just about ideas; it's a lively experience with music, dancing, and shared meals.
Mark your calendars for December 2025. The Degrowth Festival in Naarm/Melbourne is more than just an event; it's a gathering of communities working towards a sustainable, equitable future. With its diverse range of activities and initiatives, it's an opportunity not to be missed.
