Produktbeschreibung

The green economy is widely seen as a potential solution to current global economic and environmental crises, and a potential mechanism by which sustainable development might be achieved in practice. This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the green economy, using a strongly interdisciplinary approach based on environmental science, rather than treating it as a sub-set of economics.

Rezensionen

"Overall this is an excellent attempt to pull the widely diverse elements together into some coherent framework and should certainly be read by those students studying environmental economics to gain a more rounded and pragmatic perspective." - David Walton, in Bulletin of the British Ecological Society (June 2015).
