  • Environmental Anthropology Engaging Ecotopia an Introduction
    Environmental Anthropology Engaging Ecotopia An Introduction Joshua Lockyer and James R. Veteto We are living in a utopian moment. The majority of humans are already be- ing negatively affected by a number of coupled social and environmental crises. These conditions are created in large part by hegemony of thought and practice that ontologically separates humans from nature, rationalizes the externalization of the social and environmental costs of production and consumption, justifi es extreme inequality, and sees solutions only in a continuation of the same systems that generated the problems in the fi rst place. Together these and other problems constitute a crisis that demands imaginative responses and viable alternatives. We contend that anthropol- ogy must fi nd ways to engage with such existing possibilities. The present crises are not new; the fundamental idea that the current situation cannot continue was recognized decades ago with the rise of international discourse on the topic of sustainable development (Brundt- land 1987). The widely promoted concept of sustainability is ultimately utopian in nature; it is the good state that we must strive for but may not actually exist except in theory. Despite our best efforts, we do not know exactly what a sustainable society looks like. This has been the paradox of utopianism since Sir Thomas More ([1516] 1906) coined the term “utopia” in 1516, and it is the paradox of sustainability today. The premise underlying this volume is the basic belief that, at its best, anthropology has always

    SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting: Technical Recommendations Final Draft V3.2: 16 October 2017 Prepared as part of the joint UNEP / UNSD / CBD project on Advancing Natural Capital Accounting funded by NORAD Preface To be drafted by UNSD. ii Acknowledgements The process of drafting these Technical Recommendations was undertaken under the auspices of the United Nations Committee of Experts on Environmental-Economic Accounting (UNCEEA). The Editorial Board on the SEEA Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EEA) and subsequently the Technical Committee on the SEEA EEA provided the technical oversight of the drafting ensuring that comments received from difference sources were taken into account during the drafting process. Many experts from countries as well as academia, international, regional and nongovernmental-organizations from different disciplines such as economics, ecosystem science, geoscience, policy and related fields participate in this exercise. We would like to acknowledge the contributions to the Technical Recommendations of individual experts and their organizations. The Editorial Board members consisted of: Carl Obst (Editor), François Soulard (Statistics Canada), Rocky Harris (Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, UK), Anton Steurer (Eurostat), Jan-Erik Petersen (European Environment Agency), Michael Bordt (UN ESCAP), Daniel Juhn (Conservation International), Lars Hein (Wageningen University, the Netherlands), Alessandra Alfieri and Julian Chow (United Nations Statistics Division) and the World Bank.

  • A Menu for Change
    A Menu for Change Using behavioural science to promote sustainable diets around the world The Behavioural Insights Team / A Menu for Change 2 The Behavioural Insights Team / A Menu for Change Toby Park, Head of Energy & Sustainability, The Behavioural Insights Team [email protected] Acknowledgements This report has benefitted from several individuals’ contributions. With particular thanks for substantive research support and contributions to early content and the structure of the report, to Emma Garnett (University of Cambridge) and Brittney Titus (University of Oxford), both supporting us while at placement at BIT. With thanks also to Elisabeth Costa (BIT), Dr Filippo Bianchi (BIT), Dr Jessica Barker (BIT), and Dr Christian Reynolds (University of Sheffield) for their valuable feedback and comments. This is a long report. We hope you’ll read it cover-to-cover, but if not, it’s written to allow you to dip into individual sections. Look out for the short orange descriptions at the beginning of each chapter to keep track of where you are. Sections 1.1-1.2 introduce the problem, and make the rationale for shifting global diets. This will be familiar ground for environmental scientists. Section 1.3 looks at the current state, and emerging trends, in diets around the world, and Section 1.4 highlights the many historical occasions when diets have radically changed through technological innovation or deliberate intervention from government and industry. Section 1.5 acknowledges the sensitivities of this topic, and offers some reflections on how we might navigate public and political consent. We don’t have all the answers here but give a series of recommendations for building public support and developing effective policy.

  • The Rebound Effect and Energy Efficiency Policy
    November 2014 RFF DP 14-39 The Rebound Effect and Energy Efficiency Policy Kenneth Gillingham, David Rapson, and Gernot Wagner 1616 P St. NW Washington, DC 20036 202-328-5000 www.rff.org DISCUSSION PAPER The Rebound Effect and Energy Efficiency Policy Kenneth Gillingham, David Rapson, and Gernot Wagner Abstract What do we know about the size of the rebound effect? Should we believe claims that energy efficiency improvements lead to an increase in energy use? This paper clarifies what the rebound effect is, and provides a guide for economists and policymakers interested in its magnitude. We describe how some papers in the literature consider the rebound effect from a costless exogenous increase in energy efficiency, while others examine the effects of a particular energy efficiency policy—a distinction that leads to very different welfare and policy implications. We present the most reliable evidence available quantifying the energy efficiency rebound, and discuss areas where estimation is extraordinarily difficult. Along these lines, we offer a new way of thinking about the macroeconomic rebound effect. Overall, the existing research provides little support for the so-called “backfire” hypothesis. Still, much remains to be understood, particularly relating to induced innovation and productivity growth.

Abstract Concern about sustainability helped to launch a new agenda for development and environmental economics and challenged many of the fundamental goals and assumptions of the conventional, neoclassical economics of growth and development. We review 25 years’ of refereed journal articles on the economics of sustainability, with emphasis on analyses that involve concern for intergenerational equity in the long-term decisionmaking of a society; recognition of the role of finite environmental resources in long-term decisionmaking; and recognizable, if perhaps unconventional, use of economic concepts, such as instantaneous utility, cost, or intertemporal welfare. Taken as a whole, the articles reviewed here indicate that several areas must be addressed in future investigation: improving the clarity of sustainability criteria, maintaining distinctions between economic efficiency and equity, more thoroughly investigating many common assumptions in
