Documentary Screening: The Cost of Growth

Join JYU.Wisdom for a screening of The Cost of Growth, a documentary exploring the tensions surrounding green growth. Who bears the consequences of the relentless pursuit of continuous growth?

The film features insights from a diverse range of voices, including activist Greta Thunberg and anthropologist Jason Hickel, known for his degrowth perspectives. Following the struggles of numerous communities, this documentary reminds us that sustainability goals cannot be separated from questions of global justice and equality.

PhD researcher Ira Vainikainen will open the event, and after the screening there will be an opportunity for open discussion and reflection.

The event is open to everyone. Light refreshments will be provided.

The event is organized in collaboration with the University of Jyväskylä Student Union as part of Fair Trade Week.
