34 SUSTAINABILITY ECONOMICS
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
By the end of this chapter, students should understand:
The nature and the meaning of sustainability.
The need to change the approach to sustainability.
The nature of socially responsble investing.
What is meant by ‘efficiency’ in an economic context.
The nature of climate change.
The results of the Stern Review and its validity.
The valuation of costs and benefits.
CONTEXT AND PURPOSE:
This chapter focuses on evaluating the ‘missing link’ of contemporary economic theory, namely the need
for that theory to integrate sustainability within its framework. The conventional wisdom is that economic
growth (powered by human activity) has led to the creation of negative externalities that have
resulted in average temperatures rising around the globe.
The purpose of this chapter is to evaluate how governments, firms and individuals around the world
must find ways to cut carbon emissions and to approach the way we live, work and produce in different
ways to help mitigate the damage we are inflicting on the planet. It is argued that only drastic and
lasting cuts in carbon emissions can forestall the impending disaster.
KEY POINTS:
• Sustainability looks at how we use resources today to satisfy wants and needs in a way in which
does not compromise the ability of people in the future also being able to satisfy their wants and
needs.
, Chapter 34/Sustainability Economics 2
• A key issue in sustainability is the extent to which we can accurately price the impact on the
environment both today and in the future.
• There are four important questions that need to be answered in relation to sustainability –
balancing current and future needs, measuring intertemporal choices, defining what we mean by
‘efficiency’, and who should bear the costs and gain the benefits of the design and
implementation of changes in behaviour to achieve sustainability.
• Many firms are now taking an increasing interest in, and recognizing, their role in sustainability.
• Socially responsible investing refers to the process whereby individuals and firms with funds to
invest make decisions based on their ethical and sustainable credentials of the investment.
• Efficiency can be viewed in different ways: productive and technical efficiency, allocative
efficiency and social efficiency.
• Climate change is increasingly seen as being the single most important challenge to humankind.
It refers to the effect on the climate of human activity primarily through the generation of GHGs
which are contributing to the warming of the planet.
• The Stern Review published in 2006 was one of the first attempts to economically quantify the
effects of human activity on climate.
• The Review was generally seen as being an important contribution to the general debate around
climate change, but some economists questioned the assumptions used in the modelling in the
Review.
• One of the challenges of implementing change to reduce the impact on climate and the
environment is the difficulty in assessing costs and benefits now and in the future. Equally,
countries disagree on who should bear the major responsibility for reducing GHGs.
• An annual conference on climate change in 2021 reaffirmed the commitment of nations to limit
the extent of global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2050.
• The COP26 summit also included a number of other agreements designed to counter and limit
the impact of human activity on the environment.
CHAPTER OUTLINE:
I. Sustainability
A. Sustainability: refers to the capacity of economic activity to produce goods and services
for current use that does not compromise the ability of future generations to also meet
their economic needs
B. It is difficult for businesses to determine how sustainable they are due to the limitations of
fully understanding the full impact of their actions on the environment, on eco-systems,
on natural resources, on climate and biodiversity and of being able to accurately estimate
its costs and benefits
C. Key Questions about Sustainability
