Can economic expansion coexist with environmental limits?
In short: Professor Paul Ekins explores the fundamental tension between global growth and ecological boundaries. This lecture breaks down how we define a 'Green Economy' and examines whether true sustainability is possible within our current systems.
The presentation by Professor Paul Ekins of the UCL Energy Institute investigates the core characteristics and definitions of the Green Economy. It moves beyond surface-level concepts to address the structural origins of growth and the inherent limits placed upon it by the natural world.
Viewers will gain insight into the specific policy challenges required to balance economic progress with environmental preservation. The talk serves as a critical examination of whether we can decouple human prosperity from ecological degradation.
