Natural resource caps, ineffective or the answer we have been looking for? <br>
<br>
In his new article Jason Hickel asks us to rethink our current GDP dependency as the main metric for national economic success. Rather, he suggests exploring alternatives such as a genuine progress indicator (GPI). Using GPI would help us maximize socially good outcomes while minimizing ecologically bad ones. <br>
<br>
What do you think?: <a href="https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/12/why-growth-cant-be-green/" target="_blank">https://foreignpolicy.com/2018/09/12/why-growth-cant-be-green/</a><br>
The significance of this article being published in Foreign Policy Magazine should not be overlooked, demonstrating that these ideas are slowly but surely entering mainstream discussions. <br>
<br>
Hickel refers to recent research that confirms what many of us have long felt: you can't look to the greening of economic growth as a way out of our limits to growth dilemma. Hickel emphasizes that ending growth doesn’t mean shutting down economic activity - it simply means that next year we can’t produce and consume more than we are doing this year. <br>
<br>
The boundary level of usable natural resources per year of 50 billion metric tons was breached in 2000. Once this was reached, pursuing any degree of economic growth drives resource use into the space beyond limits. <br>
