The global economy is driving dangerous climate breakdown and exceeding multiple planetary boundaries. At the same time, many people still lack access to basic needs. How can we achieve rapid emissions reductions, bring resource use back to sustainable levels, and ensure good lives for all? The REAL project addresses these critical questions. REAL is a European Research Council (ERC) Synergy project led by Professors Julia Steinberger (UNIL Lausanne), Jason Hickel and Giorgos Kallis (UAB Barcelona) providing scientifically rigorous pathways for societal transformation toward a post-growth economy. The EEB’s Economic Transition team is working on spreading the awareness of the need for a drastic economic transition, for example by translating degrowth demands and research for postgrowth transformations into concrete policy shifts.

We are looking for a (**Senior) Policy Officer for Post-Growth Transformation **to drive our policy and advocacy efforts in Brussels to impact EU level policies.
