Description

The Economics of Green Growth investigates the possibility of creating an integrated indicator covering three pillars of sustainable development: economy, society and the environment.

The excessive pursuit of economic efficiency has resulted in severe environmental problems such as climate change and biodiversity loss, and societal human issues such as inequality and disparity.

The book aims to change the direction of economic growth towards one which is more sustainable.

It explores beyond the conventional indicator, the GDP that measures economic growth and human well-being.

It also introduces new indicators relevant to sustainable development and a green economy and discusses the key issues for these indicators.
