Ecological Economics and the Threat of Constant Growth

NeoClassical growth economics, and its assumption that the Earth will always absorb waste and pollution on an ever growing scale has led the world to climate crisis and the brink of collapse. Ecological economics offers alternatives that focus on the preservation of natural capital, sustainability and well-being. This program discusses how ecological economics presents policy solutions that can work to resolve humanity’s urgent environmental and social problems.

Raya Salter talks with Jonathan Crook, Policy Officer at #CarbonMarketWatch and Katherine Trebeck, Senior Strategic Advisor for the #WellbeingEconomyAlliance at COP 26, as well as Luiz Marquez, Author of “Capitalism and Environmental Collapse".
