Green European Foundation, with the support of Green Foundation Ireland, held an evening in-person Book Launch and Panel Discussion in the Teachers’ Club, Dublin on 8 Dec 2024. In early 2024 Green European Foundation released ENOUGH: Thriving Societies Beyond Growth, which sought to spotlight many of the ideas that the foundation has been exploring on post-growth and a just green and social deal, presenting them in an accessible and inspiring booklet. As well as our guest speaker, co-author DIRK HOLEMANS, our panel included JOHN GORMLEY, DAVID DONOGHUE, ANNE B. RYAN and Cllr JANET HORNER.
