Economics for a Fragile Planet: Rethinking Markets, Institutions and Governance Barbier Edward
In a world of growing environmental risks and ecological scarcities, ensuring a safe Anthropocene for humankind is essential. Rethinking economics and policies in this way can help to overcome the global challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, freshwater scarcity, and deteriorating marine and coastal habitats. Managing an increasingly "fragile" planet requires new thinking on markets, institutions and governance built on five principles: ending the underpricing of nature, fostering collective action, accepting absolute limits, attaining sustainability, and promoting inclusivity.
In this book, renowned environmental economist Edward Barbier offers a blueprint for a greener and more inclusive economy, and outlines It requires decoupling wealth creation from environmental degradation through business, policy and financial actions aimed at better stewardship of the biosphere.
