Description
A sustainable economy is a complex and multifaceted concept, but at its core, it requires a fundamental shift in how we approach our relationship with the natural world. In "Legacy", Dieter Helm sets out the key features of a sustainable economy, explaining what it would take to properly maintain different types of capital, why polluters would have to pay, and how the current generation would have to fund the necessary maintenance of our natural assets. The book highlights the feebleness of current approaches to net zero and biodiversity loss, as well as our neglect of the core infrastructures that underpin our economies. It presents a tough but necessary message: we are far from meeting the conditions required to live within our environmental means, and we cannot escape the consequences of our actions. This Open Access title offers a clear and concise explanation of what we would have to do to mend our ways and create a more sustainable future. By examining the key elements of a sustainable economy, "Legacy" provides a valuable framework for understanding the challenges we face and the steps we can take to address them.
