Täglich verlieren wir Ökosysteme, Arten und biologische Vielfalt – und das überall auf der Welt. Das neue Böll.Thema zeigt auf, wie wirtschaftliche Akteure die Natur ausbeuten und informiert über erfolgreiche Maßnahmen zum Schutz der Artenvielfalt.
The economic and ecological bases of a general prosperity are in danger, the gap between rich and poor is widening. The concept of the Green Economy offers a new model, based primarily on large-scale technological solutions. But the Green Economy cares little about politics, barely registers human rights, does not recognize social actors and suggests the possibility of reform without conflict. It suggests that the world as we know it can continue with green growth.
This paper will explore where the recent initiatives aimed at "ending the economic invisibility of nature" differ from previous approaches to economic valuation of nature.
