Study 5: Managing a sustainable economy

Focus

This study aims to provide a long-term vision and reference framework for a sustainable society that respects sustainability conditions as per the ecological economics perspective (e.g. an economy with non-increasing material footprints and throughput). The study examines macro-economic strategies and tools to manage a sustainable economy and considers questions such as: the nature of investment and its allocation between the public and private sectors; employment and other social outcomes; institutional set-ups to promote and encourage sustainable outcomes; institutions to promote inclusiveness, participation and better management of common goods; and institutions geared to human development.
