Green growth, technological innovations, and sustainable consumption are not sufficient for the required systemic transformation. Transformative alternatives, such as degrowth are needed.
HELSUS studies and supports social movements, and co-creates sustainable designs, grassroots innovations, and the structural changes in sociocultural, economic and political systems affecting them. Our approaches include a wide range of inter- and transdisciplinary methods drawing on, for example, futures thinking and circular and sustainable use of natural resources. Our research fosters university engagement in anticipating and realising possibilities within planetary boundaries.
