Are you in the UK and positive about #degrowth? Would you like to see a stronger, effective degrowth movement here? Then join us in Sheffield on Saturday, 17 October, to consider how best to achieve that. degrowthuk.org/2026/08/03/degrowth-…
degrowthuk.org
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 cuts ‘at least £400 from bills in even the cloudiest British areas’
Savings grow as energy prices in Great Britain rise and cost of panel installation falls, analysis finds Households in Great Britain’s cloudiest regions could still save more than £400 a year on their energy bills by installing rooftop solar panels, research has found. Rising wholesale energy prices mean the potential savings from a home solar panel system have climbed in recent years, as the cost of installation has continued to fall, leading to increased demand.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.
