In order to avoid the worst possible outcomes of the climate crisis, it may not be possible to focus on the triple bottom line of society, environment, and economic growth all at the same time. The triple bottom line perpetuates the delusion that we can continue the way we currently are in society in a relentless race towards progress and limitless growth without ill effect on people and the planet. Libraries are well situated as bastions of degrowth, based upon a circular economy and social equity. This session will explore modes of degrowth assessment accessible to all libraries and library workers, including Indigenous methodologies, true cost assessment, and Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS). Participants will leave the session with resources to begin measuring and communicating the impact of their work related to environmental sustainability.
