Instituto Resiliencia and the other organizations ask the Committee for the “appearance before the committee of […] experts on Ecological Economics, Socioeconomic Metabolism and Modelling of Energy Transition, from Spanish universities and other research institutions, to determine if there is a basis for considering that keeping economic growth measured as GDP growth is feasable”.
