And for good reason: a country that provides free access to quality education for all its citizens is far more likely to reduce poverty, promote economic growth, lower child and maternal mortality and achieve social inclusion. In the opening chapter of his signature book, Beyond Growth: The Economics of Sustainable Development, Herman Daly shares an unforgettable story from his days as an economist at the World Bank. The Leap, by Chris Turner, How to survive and thrive in the sustainable economy http://www.amazon.ca/Beyond-Growth-Economics-Sustainable-Development/dp/. Some new reading about sustainable development. UNESCAP identifies policies that promote green growth as aiming to bring together economic development and sustainability in ways that require fewer resources, generate fewer emissions, and reduce environmental impacts while meeting demands for everything from energy, South Korea's actions beyond mere rhetoric on green growth policies have also set an important example for emerging economies that sustainability and development can go hand in hand. Jackson, who is economics commissioner on the UK government's Sustainable Development Commission, skilfully makes the relevant economic arguments understandable to the lay reader. Statistics Netherlands is strongly based on economic theory, For example, the inter-generational aspects of sustainable development are measured by indicators which are derived from economic growth- and capital theory. The report is accompanied by a paper on the links between sustainability, wellbeing and economic growth. He is not slow to simplify where that is warranted: This means we stoke destruction of prosperity beyond the short-term horizons – “next quarter's growth figures” and all the rest – on which we routinely put such emphasis today. The current focus on austerity and competing policies for achieving a return to growth threatens to remove from view the powerful arguments by the “green” movement about the problems of sustaining economic growth on a finite planet.
