Local economies: leading the way to an ecological economy

Sabine O’Hara and Daniel Baker

Chapter 22 in Sustainable Wellbeing Futures, 2020, pp 374-385 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: The movement to create more sustainable, ecologically oriented economies requires changes at every scale from local to global. The diversity and scale of local economies offers opportunities to explore initiatives that can have substantial positive impacts especially when they are transferred or scaled appropriately. This chapter illustrates how the core goals of ecological economics can be, and are being, advanced through local action. These local actions, which are typically works in progress, also point to future research needs for ecological economics.
