    Description / Table of Contents: "In a world of growing environmental risks and ecological scarcities, ensuring a safe Anthropocene for humankind is essential. Managing an increasingly "fragile" planet requires new thinking on markets, institutions, and governance built on five principles: ending the underpricing of nature; fostering collective action; accepting absolute limits; attaining sustainability; and promoting inclusivity. Rethinking economics and policies in this way can help to overcome the global challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, freshwater scarcity, and deteriorating marine and coastal habitats. It requires decoupling wealth creation from environmental degradation through business, policy, and financial actions aimed at better stewardship of the biosphere. In this book, renowned environmental economist Edward B. Barbier offers a blueprint for a greener and more inclusive economy, and outlines the steps we must take now to build a post- COVID world that limits environmental threats while sustaining per capita welfare."

    Description / Table of Contents: Published in 1989, Blueprint for a Green Economy presented, for the first time, practical policy measures for 'greening' modern economies and putting them on a path to sustainable development. This new book, written by two of the Blueprint for a Green Economy authors, revisits and updates its main messages by asking, first, what has been achieved in the past 20 years, and second, what more needs to be done to generate a truly 'green economy' in the 21st century?.

    Description / Table of Contents: Throughout our history we have tended to view ecosystems as limitless, abundant and always available for our use, exploitation and conversion. This book shows how modeling ecosystems as natural capital can help us to analyze the economic behavior that has led to the overuse of so much ecological wealth.

    Description / Table of Contents: Drawing on historical and contemporary evidence, this book argues that growing environmental degradation and wealth inequality are linked to how nature is exploited to create economic wealth. Ending the under-pricing of natural capital and insufficient human capital accumulation is essential to overcoming structural imbalance in modern economies.
