This can help to overcome global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, freshwater scarcity, and deteriorating marine and coastal habitats. Edward Barbier offers a blueprint for a greener and more inclusive economy.

In a world facing mounting environmental threats and dwindling ecological resources, it is imperative to ensure a secure Anthropocene for humanity. To navigate an increasingly delicate planet, we must adopt innovative approaches to markets, institutions, and governance, grounded in five fundamental principles: ending the underpricing of nature, fostering collective action, embracing absolute limits, achieving sustainability, and promoting inclusivity. By reimagining economics and policies in this transformative manner, we can effectively confront the global challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, freshwater scarcity, and the degradation of marine and coastal ecosystems. It is crucial to decouple wealth creation from environmental degradation through business, policy, and financial measures that prioritize the better stewardship of the biosphere.
In this enlightening book, renowned environmental economist Edward Barbier presents a comprehensive blueprint for a greener and more inclusive economy. He outlines the critical steps we must take to construct a post-COVID world that mitigates environmental risks while sustaining per capita welfare. By embracing these principles and implementing the strategies outlined herein, we can pave the way toward a sustainable and prosperous future for generations to come.
