What is at stake?
At the recently held annual meeting of the Club of
Rome in Madrid, the outgoing IMF general secretary
Rodrigo Rato talked about three serious risks to the
world’s economic growth:
• the instability of the financial markets,
• climate change, and
• demographic change.

‘The linkages between environmental well-being, vulnerability and poverty emerged as a critical issue in 2005. Extreme weather events and new research and data were so dramatic that the year may prove a turning point in the urgency of our awareness and response (GEO, Yearbook 2006)’
‘The Munich Re Foundation, part of one of the world’s leading re-insurance companies, estimated that 2005 had witnessed the largest financial losses ever as a result of weather-related natural disasters, at more than US$200 billion’

Sustainable development is
a development that seeks to meet the demand of the present
generation without compromizing the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs.

Why “capital”?
Capital should be preserved: not to be used up
Investment in capital
Only partial substitution
capital „produces“ quality of life

Indicators
−Two decoupling phenomena are shown in Figure 1:
decoupling of resource use from growing economic activity, which implies a reduction of resource use per unit production (e.g. GDP), and
decoupling of environmental impacts from resource use, which implies a reduction of environmental impacts per unit of resource use
The first mechanism is an on-going development in the EU since economies tend to shift from manufacturing to services.

Eco-Innovation means the creation of novel and
competitively priced goods, processes, systems,
services, and procedures that can satisfy human
needs and bring quality of life to all people with a life-
cycle-wide minimal use of natural resources (material
including energy, and surface area) per unit output, and
a minimal release of toxic substances.“

Would technological innovation be enough to reduce resource use?
Worldwide and in Europe in recent decades resource and energy use became more efficient, largely because of the use of new technologies.
However, this did not reduce overall pressures on the environment, because we produced increasingly more goods (rebound effect)

Questioning the „growth paradigm“
Economic growth is, together with population growth, an important driver of global environmental change
While the poorer parts of the world clearly need significantly more income to improve their standard of living, more income in Europe, America and Japan makes less people „happy“
Stress and loneliness increase, consumption looks more and more like an addiction, illness is increasingly a result of excess (obesity, heart disease etc) and not of lack.

Eco-sufficiency
While eco-efficiency aims to improve the effectiveness of material, energy, and land use, eco-sufficiency aims at reducing negative environmental consequences through a reduction of the demand for material consumer goods.
Eco-sufficiency or strong sustainable consumption requires changes in infrastructures and choices as well as a questioning of the levels and drivers of consumption.
![Page 62: Www.seri.at Friedrich Hinterberger Thomas Schauer Paul Weaver Greenaccord V Media Forum Rome, 8th. November 2007 Why “limits to growth” won’t hurt Sustainable.](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102818/56649dde5503460f94ad6745/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
F. Hinterberger @ Greenaccord V Media Forum 108
For example...
While eco-efficiency could mean driving a car that will use 3 litres
rather than 10 litres of gasoline per 100 kilometres,
eco-sufficiency, in contrast, can mean
using public transport or travelling less far or less
frequently

• What are the effects of environmental policy measures oriented towards higher resource and energy efficiency on economic policy goals such as growth, competitiveness and employment?
• How effective are different policy measures to reduce environmental pressures (natural resource use / energy and climate)?
• What are the impacts of the implementation of these policy measures for other world regions?
