Global Degrowth Day

Every year, on the first Saturday of June, we celebrate Global Degrowth Day, where many different public events are organised worldwide to share alternatives to a growth-based society and celebrate degrowth!

Global Degrowth Day 2025 - At a Glance

Below you can see some images of how people celebrated GDD around the world in 2025!

And here you can see where some of the events that were registered with the IDN took place :) 

How to participate?

Here are some examples of what you could do:

  • Organise a demonstration for a local social or environmental struggle, voicing your demands to communities, municipalities, and governments.
  • Host a workshop on degrowth and its intersection with a topic of local relevance or interest.
  • Throw a party to celebrate the achievements of the degrowth community and to raise awareness of our struggle.
  • Host a discussion on the socio-ecological impacts of endless economic growth and how they appear in your local area (for example, the privatisation of natural or the building of a mega infrastructure project)
  • Facilitate a gathering to discuss a pressing issue in your local context from a critical perspective and co-design actions for local advocacy.
  • Or simply gather for a picnic and conviviality! 

Everything goes!
