In case you've missed this, we are bringing together the#degrowth clans in the UK to build the movement. Sheffield, 17 October. Details and booking details. Free! https://degrowthuk.org/2026/08/03/degrowth-gathering-building-the-uk-movement/
Degrowth Gathering – Building the UK movement
**Saturday, 17 October, 9:30-5.00** Degrowth is both a transformative movement and a critical framework, aiming to ensure social justice and well-being for all, with human activities being in alignment with ecological limits. However, degrowth in the UK currently exists as an informal network rather than a cohesive movement. This one-day event will bring together those with an interest in working on degrowth in the UK. Together we will consider the potential for establishing the foundations of a degrowth movement in the UK, and planning for a UK presence at the International Degrowth Conference in 2027. The outcomes and future steps arising from this gathering will be shaped by those present, in the hope that this will be the first of several events and actions dedicated towards building and furthering a movement for degrowth in the UK. The target audience is people who already have knowledge of degrowth and may be more formally connected to degrowth through local initiatives or through networks such as DegrowthUK. Therefore, the gathering does not intend to promote the need for degrowth or to discuss the meaning of degrowth as part of the structure of the gathering. **If this sounds like you, and you’d like to attend,see full details and booking at this link.** **_Booking is required but the event is free._** ### Share this: * Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window) Mastodon * Share on X (Opens in new window) X * Share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email * Print (Opens in new window) Print * Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window) LinkedIn * ### Like this: Like Loading… ### _Related_

Solar cooperatives are helping Americans save on energy costs. One person reported that after joining a solar co-op, she now only pays $5 a month instead of $300 on energy bills during the summer. These co-ops leverage collective purchasing power to make costs more affordable.
