Oxford University Press Oxford Handbook on the Greening of Economic Development

Traditional economic development models often ignore the impact of decisions regarding energy, resources, and finance. By relying on fossil fuel stocks and linear resource flows, standard economic choices create significant global implications. This handbook from Oxford University Press explores a necessary alternative for the future of the global economy. This text examines the transition toward an economic model based on renewable energy and renewable fuels. It covers the shift toward circular resource flows and the greening of financial instruments, including bonds and equities. As the world undergoes a massive industrial revolution, this work addresses the next Great Transformation of the global economy through the lens of sustainable development and resource management.
