Ecological Economics is about the interaction between humans and the environment via the economy.

It starts from the premise that the economy is limited by the constraint of our planet's finite resources. Ecological Economics recognises that trying to achieve perpetual economic growth is unsustainable when we live on a planet with a fixed set of resources.

It rejects the mainstream economics goal of continued economic growth and proposes instead a steady state economy.

*Los Efectos del Calentamiento Climático en la Economía Mundial*

El calentamiento climático, un fenómeno caracterizado por el aumento gradual de las temperaturas globales, está teniendo un impacto profundo en diversos aspectos de la vida en la Tierra, incluida la economía mundial. A medida que avanzamos en el siglo XXI, es crucial entender cómo este fenómeno puede alterar la estabilidad económica global.

*Impacto en la Agricultura y la Alimentación*

La agricultura es uno de los sectores más vulnerables al cambio climático. El aumento de las temperaturas, las alteraciones en los patrones de precipitación y la mayor frecuencia de eventos climáticos extremos como sequías e inundaciones están afectando la producción agrícola. Esto no solo amenaza la seguridad alimentaria, sino que también provoca aumentos en los precios de los alimentos, lo que puede generar inestabilidad económica y social en muchas regiones del mundo.

*Efectos en la Salud y el Trabajo*

El cambio climático está relacionado con un aumento en la incidencia de enfermedades transmitidas por vectores, como el dengue y la malaria, así como con problemas de salud respiratoria debido a la mayor contaminación del aire. Estos problemas de salud pueden reducir la productividad laboral y aumentar los costos de atención médica, afectando negativamente la economía.

*Desastres Naturales y su Costo Económico*

El aumento en la frecuencia y severidad de desastres naturales como huracanes, incendios forestales y inundaciones conlleva enormes costos económicos. Las pérdidas directas incluyen daños a la infraestructura, viviendas y bienes. Además, los desastres naturales pueden interrumpir las cadenas de suministro globales, lo que afecta a múltiples sectores económicos y puede llevar a recesiones regionales y globales.

*Migración y Desplazamiento*

El cambio climático está provocando desplazamientos de población debido a la pérdida de tierras habitables, la escasez de agua y la disminución de la productividad agrícola. Esta migración forzada puede desestabilizar regiones enteras, aumentar la competencia por recursos y generar conflictos, lo que a su vez afecta la economía global.

*Adaptación y Mitigación: Un Coste Necesario*

Invertir en medidas de adaptación y mitigación del cambio climático es esencial para reducir sus impactos económicos. Sin embargo, estas inversiones también representan un costo significativo. Las economías deben destinar recursos para desarrollar infraestructuras resilientes, adoptar tecnologías limpias y promover prácticas sostenibles. Aunque estas inversiones pueden ser costosas a corto plazo, son cruciales para garantizar una estabilidad económica a largo plazo.

El calentamiento climático representa una amenaza significativa para la economía mundial en este siglo. Sus efectos se sienten en la agricultura, la salud, los desastres naturales y la migración, entre otros. Abordar este desafío requiere una acción concertada a nivel global, con inversiones en adaptación y mitigación que, aunque costosas, son esenciales para proteger la economía y el bienestar de las futuras generaciones.

Brazil is trying to approve a bill that will allow the reduction of Amazon Forest protected areas from 80% to 50%

https://www.cnnbrasil.com.br/politica/em-meio-a-desastre-climatico-no-rs-senado-vota-projeto-que-reduz-reserva-legal-na-amazonia/

The link is in Portuguese because I couldn't find news about this in English. Brazil's Senate will vote next week a bill that will reduce the protected areas in Amazon Forest from 80% to 50%. Considering how politics goes in Brazil, it will likely be approved.

[QUESTION] where to start on the classics + asking for recommendations

hello everyone!

i am majoring in IR and i wrote my final dissertation on the european green deal decoupling on a very surface level and i've been long interested in ecological economics, but because i haven't had any economics class i've only read a lot commentators so far, and i am looking for a way to start reading georgescu-roegen, herman daly and so on.

my biggest obstacle is that i don't have a good grasp on marginal utility and it seems a pre requisite to understand some of what GR says. do you guys have any advice or recommendations on where to start and what might help me with this gap that i have? also, i'd appreciate a "beginner's guide" on eco-eco. like, which seminal works should i begin with?

Considering a Second Master's Degree in Sustainable Development and Ecological Transition - How Could It Benefit a Future in Shale Gas Extraction

Hello fellow Redditors,

I currently hold a bachelor's degree in applied geology and am pursuing my master's in mineral resources, geomaterials, and environmental studies. I'm contemplating applying for a second master's degree program in Sustainable Development and Ecological Transition Management. I'm curious about how this unique combination of fields might contribute to my aspirations of establishing a shale gas extraction business or getting involved in related ventures.

Your insights and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, question in the title. Overshoot day dropped 2nd of August this year.

Is it possible to determine the wealth that was generated with one planet this year ? Would it be an interesting metric?
