Abstract

This joint ILO/UNEP study shows that, if accompanied by the right policy mix, a green economy can also create more and better jobs, lift people out of poverty and promote social inclusion. It also demonstrates that employment and social inclusion must be an integral part of any sustainable development strategy A green economy is necessary if sustainable development is to be realized. However, as this report emphasizes, a green economy can also, if accompanied by the right policy mix, create more and better jobs, lift people out of poverty and promote social inclusion. In fact, the growth model of the past few decades has been inefficient, not only economically, but also from environmental, employment and social perspectives. It overuses natural resources, is environmentally unsustainable and has failed to meet the aspirations of a large proportion of society seeking productive, decent work and dignified lives. A new development model – one which puts people, fairness and the planet at the core of policy-making – is urgently needed, and is eminently achievable. More fundamentally, this report demonstrates that employment and social inclusion must be integral parts of any sustainable development strategy and must be included in policies that address climate change and ensure the preservation of the environment. In particular, the report assesses the sectoral, employment and income implications of the transition to a green economy. It highlights the necessary conditions, policy prescriptions and good practices required to ensure that the green economy is characterized by gains in job quality, reductions in poverty and improvements in social inclusion.

Abstract

Comment accélérer la transition de nos économies et de nos sociétés vers le bien-être et la soutenabilité ? Alerter sur le « péril climatique » ne suffira pas : la peur paralyse davantage qu’elle n’incite à agir. Il faut proposer un récit commun positif, qui mobilise le principe de justice sociale. Car les crises écologiques renforcent les inégalités, tout comme les inégalités accroissent les dégâts environnementaux. Pour cela, nous disent les auteurs, il est nécessaire de redéfinir le progrès social à la lumière du défi écologique, en visant l’égalité, l’emploi et la protection sociale. Quels instruments de justice environnementale mettre en place ? Suffira-t-il de « verdir » le capitalisme ou faudra-t-il changer de paradigme économique ? Quel rôle pour les syndicats dans la transition ? Comment mutualiser les nouveaux risques pour en minimiser l’impact ? Ce livre avance dix propositions pour faire de la transition sociale-écologique un nouvel horizon démocratique.

Abstract

Too often, economics disassociates humans from nature, the economy from the biosphere that contains it, and sustainability from fairness. When economists do engage with environmental issues, they typically reduce their analysis to a science of efficiency that leaves aside issues of distributional analysis and justice. The aim of this lucid textbook is to provide a framework that prioritizes human well-being within the limits of the biosphere, and to rethink economic analysis and policy in the light of not just efficiency but equity. Leading economist Éloi Laurent systematically ties together sustainability and justice issues in covering a wide range of topics, from biodiversity and ecosystems, energy and climate change, environmental health and environmental justice, to new indicators of well-being and sustainability beyond GDP and growth, social-ecological transition, and sustainable urban systems. This book equips readers with ideas and tools from various disciplines alongside economics, such as history, political science, and philosophy, and invites them to apply those insights in order to understand and eventually tackle pressing twenty-first-century challenges. It will be an invaluable resource for students of environmental economics and policy, and sustainable development.
