At the heart of this has been the heated debate over the nature of the relationship between economic growth and environmental sustainability. Is environemental sustainability economic growth or  green growth', a contradiction in terms?\u003cbr\u003e Avoiding the confusion that often surrounds these issues, Ekins provides rigorous expositions of the concept of sustainability, integrated environmental and economic accounting, the Environmental Kuznets Curve, the economics of climate change and environmental taxation. Individual chapters are organised as self-contained, state-of-the-art expositions of the core issues of environmental economics, with extensive cross-referencing from one chapter to another, in order to guide the student or policy-maker through these complex problems.\u003cbr\u003e Paul Ekins breaks new ground in defining the conditions of compatibility between economic growth and environmental sustainability, and provides measures and criteria by which the environmental sustainability of economic growth, as it occurs in the real world, may be judged. It is argued that  green growth' is not only theoretically possible but economically achievable and the authors show what environmental and economic policies are required to achieve this.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eEconomic Growth and Environmental Sustainability\u003c\/em\u003e will be welcolmed by students of and researchers in environmental economics and environmental studies, as well as all interested policy-makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Ekins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415173329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415173322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/11\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.88d","brand":"Paul Ekins","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064876249343,"sku":"9780415173322","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3bff5c6f-033b-48df-8c7f-1ea5e85b4ac1.jpg?v=1768671630","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/economic-growth-and-environmental-sustainability-paul-ekins-9780415173322","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
