How does the concept of 'degrowth' propose to tackle climate change?

Degrowth is like when you have a big toy box but decide to share your toys so everyone can be happy and the room doesn’t get too messy.

Imagine you and your friends are playing with all your toys, but there’s not enough space. The floor gets full of blocks, cars, and stuffed animals, it's hard to move around, and sometimes someone trips over a toy. That’s like what happens when we use too many resources: the Earth feels crowded and tired, which is part of why we have climate change.

Degrowth says instead of trying to get more toys (like using even more energy or cutting down more trees), maybe it's better to have just enough for everyone, and then take turns playing. This way, no one gets left out, and the room stays tidy for longer.

When we use fewer resources, like turning off lights when we leave a room, or walking instead of taking the car, it’s like cleaning up after yourself. The Earth doesn’t get as tired, so it can keep giving us clean air, fresh water, and nice weather for a long time.

It's not about having less, it’s about sharing better, so everyone can enjoy the game without making the room too messy.
