Paul Ekins Books

Focusing on the urgent need to combat climate change, Paul Ekins outlines a detailed strategy to achieve Real Zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, followed by negative emissions. As a leading expert, he emphasizes that this approach is essential for halting human-induced climate change. The book serves as a crucial guide for policymakers and individuals alike, detailing the necessary actions and systemic changes required to secure a sustainable future.

The past fifty years have witnessed the triumph of an industrial development that has engendered great social and environmental costs. Conventional economics has too often either ignored these costs or failed to analyse them appropriately. This book constructs a framework within which the wider impacts of economic activity can be both understood and ameliorated. The framework places its emphasis on an in-depth understanding of real-life processes rather than on mathematical formalism, sressing the independence of the economy with the social, ecological and ethical dimensions of human life.
