Survival of the Greenest : Economic Transformation in a Climate-conscious World Hardback
by Amir (University of Oxford) Lebdioui
Part of the Elements in Development Economics series
Hardback
Description
The pathways to economic development are changing. Environmental sustainability is no longer a choice but a necessity to maintain a competitive edge in the global economy.
Just like in nature, where survival hinges on adaptation, this Element shows how nations adjust to -and take advantage of- the new dynamics of structural transformation induced by climate change.
First, by analysing the uneven industrial geography of decarbonisation, the inadequate state of climate financing and rise of green protectionism, it demonstrates that the low-carbon economy stands to increase economic disparities between nations, unless action is taken.
Then, by examining green industrial policies and their varied success, it explains how governments can still join the green industrialisation race.
Finally, it examines how to adapt green industrial policy to different starting points, market sizes, productive structures, state-business relations dynamics, institutional layouts, and ecological contexts.
