Ovoga tjedna znanstvenici i znanstvenice, političarke i političari te kreatori i kreatorice javnih politika okupit će se u Bruxellesu na konferenciji od povijesnog značaja. Cilj ovog događaja, koji organiziraju članovi i članice Europskog parlamenta iz pet različitih političkih klubova te sindikati i nevladine organizacije, jest istražiti opcije za “gospodarstvo odrasta” u Europi.
U posljednjih sedam desetljeća rast BDP-a bio je primarni ekonomski cilj europskih zemalja. No kako su rasla naša gospodarstva, rastao je i naš negativan utjecaj na okoliš. Sada prelazimo granice planetarne stabilnosti za čovječanstvo i gospodarska se aktivnost ni približno dovoljno ne odvaja od korištenja resursa i zagađenja. Rješavanje društvenih problema u europskim zemljama danas ne zahtijeva više rasta. Zahtijeva pravedniju raspodjelu dohotka i bogatstva koje već imamo.
Rast je također sve teže postići zbog opadanja koristi od produktivnosti, zasićenosti tržišta i ekološke degradacije. Ako se aktualni trendovi nastave, u Europi za deset godina možda više uopće neće biti rasta. Trenutni je odgovor na to poticanje rasta omogućavanjem većeg duga, zanemarivanjem propisa o zaštiti okoliša, produljenjem radnog vremena i rezanjem socijalne skrbi. Ova agresivna usredotočenost na rast pod svaku cijenu stvara podjele u društvu i ekonomsku nestabilnost te potkopava demokraciju.
Oni na vlasti nisu se bili spremni baviti tim pitanjima, barem do sada. Projekt Europske komisije Šire od BPD-a (Beyond GDP) postao je BDP i šire (GDP and Beyond). Službena mantra i dalje je rast – prilagođen kao ‘održiv’, ‘zelen’ ili ‘inkluzivan’ – ali prije svega rast. Čak i novi Ciljevi održivog razvoja UN-a uključuju gospodarski rast kao politički cilj svih zemalja, unatoč temeljnom proturječju između rasta i održivosti.
Dobra je vijest da se u civilnom društvu i akademskoj zajednici pojavio pokret odrasta. Različito ga zovemo na različitim mjestima: décroissance, Postwachstum, steady-state ili doughnut economics, prosperitet bez rasta, da nabrojimo tek neka imena. Od 2008. redovite konferencije o odrastu okupljaju tisuće sudionika i sudionica. Nova globalna inicijativa Wellbeing Economies Alliance (ili WE-All) povezuje ove pokreta, dok europska istraživačka mreža razvija nove “ekološke makroekonomske modele”. Ovaj program ukazuje na to da je moguće poboljšati kvalitetu života, obnoviti prirodnu ravnotežu, smanjiti nejednakost i osigurati smislene poslove bez potrebe za gospodarskim rastom, pod uvjetom da provodimo politike za prevladavanje naše trenutne ovisnosti o rastu.
Neke od predloženih promjena uključuju ograničenja korištenja resursa, progresivno oporezivanje kako bi se obuzdala plima društvene nejednakosti i postupno skraćivanje radnog vremena. Korištenje resursa moglo bi se ograničiti uvođenjem poreza na ugljik, a prihod bi se mogao vratiti kao dividenda za sve ili koristiti za financiranje socijalnih programa. Uvođenje temeljnog i maksimalnog dohotka dodatno bi smanjilo nejednakost te pomoglo redistribuirati skrb i smanjiti neravnoteže moći koje potkopavaju demokraciju. Nove tehnologije mogu se koristiti za skraćivanje radnog vremena i poboljšanje kvalitete života, umjesto za otpuštanje velikog broja radnika i radnica i povećanje profita nekolicine privilegiranih.
S obzirom na rizike s kojima se suočavamo, bilo bi neodgovorno da političari i političarke i kreatori i kreatorice javne politike ne promišljaju mogućnosti budućnosti s odrastom. Konferencija koja se održava u Bruxellesu obećavajući je početak, ali potrebno je čvršće se obvezati na promjene. Kao skupina zabrinutih društvenih i prirodnih znanstvenika i znanstvenica iz cijele Europe pozivamo Europsku uniju, njezine institucije i države članice da:
- 1. Osnuju posebno povjerenstvo za Budućnost s odrastom u Europskom parlamentu. Ovo bi povjerenstvo trebalo aktivno raspravljati o budućnosti rasta, osmisliti alternative politike za budućnost s odrastom i iznova razmotriti zaokupljenost rastom kao glavnim političkim ciljem.
- 2. Uključe alternativne indikatore u makroekonomski okvir EU i njezinih država članica. Ekonomske politike treba ocijeniti u na temelju njihovog utjecaja na dobrobit ljudi, korištenje resursa, nejednakost i osiguravanje dostojanstvenog rada. Pri donošenju odluka ti indikatori trebaju imati veću važnost od BDP-a.
- 3. Pretvore Pakt o stabilnosti i rastu (SGP) u Pakt o stabilnosti i dobrobiti. SGP je skup pravila kojima je cilj ograničavanje državnih deficita i državnog duga. Potrebno ga je revidirati kako bi države članice osiguravale osnovne potrebe svojih građana, istovremeno smanjujući potrošnju resursa i otpadne emisije na održivu razinu.
- 4. Uspostave Ministarstvo gospodarske tranzicije u svakoj državi članici. Novo gospodarstvo usmjereno na ljudsko i ekološko blagostanje ponudilo bi mnogo bolju budućnost od one koja je strukturno ovisna o gospodarskom rastu.
