Presenting critical insights on how economic activity is
constrained by the environment's ability to provide material and
energy resources, this timely Research Agenda explores how humanity
shapes, and is shaped by, environmental change and sustainability
challenges. Chapters highlight how, under these constraints, people
may seek to improve their lives and standards of living without
undermining the abilities of others to do so now or in the future.
With contributions from top economic scholars, as well as from a
range of other disciplines including ethics, law, and the physical
and life sciences, this book explores how interdisciplinary
insights can be integrated to provide meaningful investment and
policy advice. Offering diverse understandings of the topic from
both the Global North and South, this Research Agenda challenges
previous economic conceptualizations of human-environment
interactions, exploring resource use and environmental impact from
micro- and macro-economic perspectives. Students of environmental
and ecological economics will find this to be a thought-provoking
and stimulating read. The suggestions for future research and use
of clear case studies will also prove valuable for environmental
law and ethics scholars, as well as environmental policy-makers.
