Routledge The Economics of Green Growth - Sustainable Societies

The Economics of Green Growth explores the potential for creating integrated indicators that cover the three essential pillars of sustainable development: the economy, society, and the environment. As the pursuit of economic efficiency leads to environmental challenges like climate change and biodiversity loss, alongside societal issues such as inequality, this book offers a path forward. Part of the Routledge Studies in Ecological Economics series, this work seeks to shift the direction of economic growth toward more sustainable models. It examines how we can move beyond the conventional use of GDP, which focuses primarily on economic growth, to better measure human well-being and environmental health. This text provides a necessary framework for understanding how to balance economic progress with the long-term needs of our planet and its people.
