In its much-debated Human Development Report 2020, the United
Nations Human Development Program attempted to present indicators
of development which are planetary pressures-adjusted. In the
present book by Arno Tausch, the author presents further
reflections in this important and evolving field, vital for any
informed debate about the Paris Climate Accord. Tausch adjusts the
development achievements and setbacks of the countries of the world
by ecological footprint per capita. With the hitherto existing
globalized political economy in ruins in the wake of the Covid-19
pandemic and the ensuing global economic depression, a new societal
contract has to emerge which combines well-being with a minimum of
energy inputs, thus reducing planetary pressures. Tausch attempts
to answer vital questions, raised by the debates on the Paris
climate accords, and the recent UNDP Human Development Index. Is a
liberal economy, based on economic freedom, compatible with the
attempt to "deliver" a maximum amount of democracy, economic
growth, gender equality, human development, research and
development, and social cohesion with a minimum of planetary
pressure? Tausch looks at the cross-national drivers and
bottlenecks of "smart development," using standard comparative
cross-national data. The book shows that those attempting to reduce
planetary pressure and to work towards fulfilling the Paris Climate
Accords have to start thinking about such issues as gender justice,
economic freedom, globalization, population density, and migration,
if they really want to bring about development with a minimum of
planetary pressure.
