Green growth claims are overstated—our study shows three reasons why

A holy grail of environmental policy is an economy that delivers prosperity without requiring the ever-increasing consumption of raw materials.

"The ecomodernist does not invent numbers. They select them. Show per-capita emissions instead of totals. Show a few countries instead of the global panel. Show the last decade instead of the long run. Show production-based emissions instead of consumption-based ones. Each of these choices can be defended. Together they create a very particular picture."

I'm somehow in consternated awe of the patience Timothée Parrique still shows in argueing with green growth enthusiasts. His closing sentence:

“To find the most effective way of reducing macroecological footprints, we need sufficiency and efficiency. Let’s therefore make sure to keep bridges open between different approaches.”

Doughnut Economics

Relentless financial crises. Extreme inequalities in wealth. Remorseless pressure on the environment. Anyone can see that our economic system is broken. But can it be fixed? In Doughnut Economics, Oxford academic Kate Raworth identifies the seven critical ways in which mainstream economics has led us astray - from selling us the myth of 'rational economic man' to obsessing over growth at all costs - and offers instead an alternative roadmap for bringing humanity into a sweet spot that meets the needs of all within the means of the planet. Ambitious, radical and provocative, she offers a new cutting-edge economic model fit for the challenges of the 21st century. _____________________________________________________ 'The John Maynard Keynes of the 21st century.'

„Die Geschichte einer +3°C-Zukunft“ – Eine Studie über Vergangenheit und Zukunft der Treibhausgasemissionen

Als gründliche empirische Studie zu den Möglichkeiten einer Entkoppelung von Wirtschaftswachstum und Treibhausgasemissionen kenne ich bisher nur die Arbeit der Gruppe um Dominik Wiedenhofer und Helmut Haberl (2020, 2020). Spanische Forschende um Juan Infante Amate haben sich jetzt als Historiker ausführlich mit dem Zusammenhang von Emissionen und Wirtschaftswachstum seit den ersten Jahrzehnten der Industrialisierung beschäftigt. Ihre Arbeit zeigt, wie unrealistisch die Annahme ist, dass sich die Begrenzung der globalen Erhitzung und weiteres Wirtschaftswachstum vereinbaren lassen. […]
