Beschreibung

Worldwide, we observe critical environmental changes such as climate change, the loss of biodiversity, soil degradation or the excessive exploitation of the oceans. A widespread consensus exists that in order to protect the natural resources and ecosystems we need to change the way our societies and economies work, but the big question is how?
In this course, we will discuss whether and why a major transformation is necessary, what concepts for transformation (in the economic literature) exist and what instruments can be used to achieve transformation.
First, we will lay the foundations for why a great transformation might be necessary (here we will draw on insights from the literature on environmental challenges, well-being and environmental justice). Subsequently, we will critically examine the potential of prominent concepts such as green growth, circular economy, de-growth and decoupling. Finally, we will reflect on what the barriers to transformation are (e.g. from a political economic perspective) and the ways in which a transformation towards sustainability can be achieved, e.g. through changes in values or mindsets, or through changes in institutions and policies, or changes in the way we measure societal welfare.
