With François Briens (engineer, researcher) and Jean-Philippe Decka (researcher, essayist)
Moderated by Nora Hamadi
With the participation of Vincent Giovannoni, head curator of the Performing Arts Department.
For some, it’s inevitable, and the only alternative to the end of the world. For others, it’s an unthinkable regression, a joke, even a nightmare! But what exactly is “degrowth”?
Is reducing the production of goods and services “enough” to save us from climate peril? Why should we collectively slow down? Does this mean halting progress? And to whom is this injunction addressed, when some of us do not have access to the basic necessities of life?
Jean-Philippe Decka (essayist, podcast host)
Jean-Philippe Decka graduated from HEC Paris in 2010. After an entrepreneurial career, he is now a doctoral student at the Centre de Recherche en Gestion de l’École Polytechnique. He is working on transforming business models while respecting planetary limits. He is also the author of “Le courage de renoncer. Le difficile chemin des élites pour bifurquer vers un monde durable.” (Payot, 2022) and of the podcast Ozé.
François Briens (engineer, researcher)
François Briens is an engineer specializing in energy and holds a doctorate in economics and forecasting. His research work, in the field of ecological socio-economics, focuses on the links between macroeconomics, energy and the environment, on the energy transition, on the socio-economic and physical limits to growth, and on the prospective exploration and evaluation of degrowth and post-growth policies and trajectories. In 2021, his work was awarded the Fondation 2100’s prize for the best foresight thesis (“Anticipating the 21st century”, under the aegis of the CNRS Foundation). He is also a member of the board of the Sciences Citoyennes association, which works for the democratic reappropriation of scientific and technical choices.
