What is to be done about the damaging impact of economic activity
on the environment? In recent years, there has been growing debate
over this question. This book, by an economist, urges Christians to
support strong governmental and intergovernmental action to improve
the workings of existing global economic systems so as to provide
adequate environmental protection. As such, it draws on the
tradition of mainstream environmental economics and on recent
developments in "ecological economics." But it acknowledges that
environmental policy raises important ethical and theological
issues often briefly or inadequately covered within economic
literature: ethically responsible attitudes to uncertainty,
inequality within and between generations, the rights of
traditional communities, and the obligation to respect nonhuman
elements within creation. This book tries to develop sound ethical
foundations for environmental policy, while providing concrete
perspective on economic realities.
