Our third and final blog investigating the concept of green growth. We look at the physical limits of growth, where green growth fits into our current system and what might come next.

We continue our series exploring alternative economic models. Here, in the second of three parts, we examine green growth, which seeks to achieve continued economic growth that is more environmentally sustainable.

Green Growth asserts that continued economic growth can be compatible with staying in the ecological limits of our planet, with measures to decouple GDP growth from environmental impacts. It’s become popular amongst policymakers, but climate scientists are sceptical that green growth can ever truly be green.
