Abstract
This chapter revisits the debate between green growth and degrowth through the lens of world (dis)order. Contrary to much existing work, we interpret both green growth and degrowth as distinct environmental futures that seek to make sense of and respond to the planetary crisis, which has been brought about by centuries of human intrusion into ecosystems. This global environmental crisis, we contend, represents a state of biospheric and political disorder that green growth and degrowth futures offer to overcome in distinct ways. While green growth futures imagine a form of reordering to be achieved within the confines of the current system, degrowth futures sketch a much deeper state of disorder calling for system change. The chapter breaks new ground by identifying widely overlooked claims of world reordering inside futures organized around the competing notions of green growth and degrowth.
