Climate-changed economic geography

Chapter 10 in A Research Agenda for Economic Geography, 2025, pp 133-146 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Mitigating climate change is likely to fundamentally transform the global economic landscape. While some economic geographers have begun questioning the one-sided, growth-oriented focus of mainstream economic geography and are incorporating ecological and social concerns in their research, others argue that these efforts remain insufficient. In this chapter, we exemplify how the green regional industrial path development (GRIPD) approach has started to examine “green” transitions but still leaves critical questions towards a climate-changed economic geography unanswered. First, GRIPD literature is predominantly concerned with the emergence of new paths while largely neglecting older, environmentally harmful ones. Second, the ecological and social impacts of path development are still underexplored. Third, GRIPD scholars have yet to fully grasp what path development looks like in relation to alternative regional development models. Moving beyond GRIPD research, we conclude our chapter with reflections on the contours of a broader research agenda for a climate-changed economic geography.
