Includes bibliographical references and index. Pt. 1. Ecological sustainability : How much nature do we need? -- How much nature do we have? Can we sustain its use? -- What should we do about it? -- Pt. 2. Economic sustainability : How much for nature? -- What is the value of nature? -- Accounting for economic sustainability -- What should we do about it? -- Bridging the gap : ecological and environmental economics -- Pt. 3. Sustainable development : What else do we need? -- A cure-all paradigm? -- What should we do about it? -- Some conclusions : What is countable? What counts? What should we do about it?. The book is a concise introduction to an emerging field within economics. Drawing on numerous disciplines, including environmental science, environmental and ecological economics and optimal growth theory, sustainability remains a hazy and complex subject. |
