This year’s Arne Næss Professor Jason Hickel attracted a lot of attention, enthusiasm, and criticism with his book Less is More. How Degrowth Will Save the World in 2021.

UiO's student-run Green Office invites you to a conversation with the author about how we can best solve the triple crises the world is facing: the climate crisis, the nature crisis and the inequality crisis. The panel consists of master's student Holly Benna and Professor Benedicte Bull, who will also chair the event. Please note that the event will be held in English.

Moderator of the event is Benedicte Bull.
