Authors: Jan-Erik Lane
Pages: 114-135
Abstract
Ecology versus economic growth? There is not general solution to this dilemma or trade-off (de Bruyn, 2012; Eriksson, 2013; Managi, 2015). Following the COP21 Agreement objectives and their decentralised implementation over this century, the countries of the world, guided by international governance, must learn how to invest in projects that both foster growth and innovation as well as environmental sustainability and decarbonisation. It will be far more difficult, not to say much uncertain, whether the COP21 approach can work.
