1. 1. Georgian Environmental Kuznets Curve: An Appropriate Estimation.

   Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Författare :Farahim Suleymanli; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Environmental Kuznets Curve; integrated processes; Planetary Boundary; Environmental Degradation Index; Business and Economics;

   Sammanfattning : Empirical EKC literature has conceptual flaws that arise due to the inclusion of polynomials and cointegrating relationships of powers of integrated processes. Additionally, previous studies focused on a narrow nexus between environmental degradation and economic growth that yield only a partial EKC. LÄS MER

3. 2. A Fair Distribution of Global Biocapacity : The Potential in Swedish Environmental Policy

   Master-uppsats, KTH/Miljöstrategisk analys (fms)

   Författare :Vishal Parekh; [2017]
   Nyckelord :Beyond GDP-growth; biocapacity; distribution; ecosystem services; environmental justice; fairness; land use; policy;

   Sammanfattning : Humanity’s detrimental impacts on the Earth’s ecosystems have been studied extensively, and these impacts’ negative consequences across societal groups, nations, and generations, have garnered much attention, from the scientific community as well as from civil society, where the attention often has been directed at how unfair the distribution of these environmental burdens is. The fairness of the distribution of global environmental benefits, however, has seen much less study, especially when it comes to the implementation of such concerns for fairness in environmental policy.

4. 3. Estimation of Cropland Ecological Footprint within Danish Climate Commissions 2050 Scenarios for Land use and Bioenergy Consumption

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

   Författare :Andrew Ekoka Mwambo; [2015]
   Nyckelord :Global Footprint Network; ecological trade deficit; ecological remainder; ecological overshoot; ecological deficit; Physical Geography and Ecosystem Analysis; biocapacity; STIRPAT Model; ecosystem sustainability; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : The ecological footprint of Denmark has been rising since (and likely even before) 1961, which signifies an unsustainable living by the Danish population. Global footprint reports show Denmark as one of many countries on earth which has exceeded its biocapacity (BC), which means natural resource consumption in Denmark is faster than the land’s regenerative capacity.

5. 4. Toxic Omissions and Cancerous Growths: Addressing the Unexamined Assumption of Sustainable Consumption in Technologically Innovative Societies

   Magister-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Internationella miljöinstitutet

   Författare :Hue Nguyen; [2008]
   Nyckelord :Sustainable Consumption; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Sammanfattning : This study challenges existing dogma of economists and environmentalists with a finding that sustainable consumption in industrial societies is impossible within standard models of growth because the approaches that are being taken to investments (in new technologies) are linked with and dependent on increased consumption as a requirement of innovation and as part of ideology in societies. Though slight reductions of resource consumption are being reported in some societies that have high environmental standards, existing high levels of consumption in these industrial societies still continue to overshoot the biocapacity of the earth and technological policies are linked with the cause of the problem rather than with the solution.
