Climate disruption, overpopulation, biodiversity loss, the threats
of financial collapse, large-scale damage to our natural and social
environments and eroding democracy are all becoming critically
important concerns. The editors of this timely book assert that
these problems are not separate, but all stem from our overreliance
on an out-dated approach to economics that puts growth of
production and consumption above all else. Ecological economics can
help create the future that most people want - a future that is
prosperous, just, equitable and sustainable. This forward-thinking
book lays out an alternative approach that places the sustainable
wellbeing of humans and the rest of nature as the overarching goal.
Each of the book s chapters, written by a diverse collection of
scholars and practitioners, outlines a research and action agenda
for how this future can look and possible actions for its
realization. Sustainable Wellbeing Futures will be of value to
academics and students researching environmental and ecological
economics, as well as individuals interested in gaining a greater
understanding of the concept of a wellbeing future and how we might
act to achieve it. Contributors include: M. Abrams, J. Adams, G.
