Abstract: This speech was delivered at the meeting of the International Society for Ecological Economics at Reykjiavik, Iceland on the 13th of August 2014 at the presentation of the 2014 Kenneth E. Boulding Memorial Award. In the speech Peter Victor pays tribute to Kenneth Boulding, one of the pioneers of ecological economics, and then describes his own principal contributions to ecological economics over a period of 45years. These contributions include environmental applications of input–output analysis, the problematic extension of the concept of capital to nature, the definition and analysis of green growth, and his research on ecological macroeconomics and the challenge to economic growth.
