Sustainable Wellbeing Futures

Edited by Robert Costanza, Jon D. Erickson, Joshua Farley and Ida Kubiszewski

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Ecological economics can help create the future that most people want – a future that is prosperous, just, equitable and sustainable. This forward-thinking book lays out an alternative approach that places the sustainable wellbeing of humans and the rest of nature as the overarching goal. Each of the book’s chapters, written by a diverse collection of scholars and practitioners, outlines a research and action agenda for how this future can look and possible actions for its realisation.
