Economic growth and its impact on environment: A panel data analysis (2011, background): “As a notion it is controversial however, because of the issue of irreversibility and imperfect substitution among physical, human and natural capital (Bridger and Luloff, 1999; Ekins et al., 2003).”
Green economy and related concepts: An overview (2016, positive): “…or ecological indicators (e.g., material input per service unit, the ecological footprint, and the critical natural capital) based on the concept of dematerialization and the conservation of non-substitutable natural capital are developed (Ekins et al., 2003; Farley, 2008; van den Bergh, 2001).”
When to use what: Methods for weighting and aggregating sustainability indicators (2017, positive): “Therefore, indices representing strong sustainability must take into account non-compensability as well as threshold values for each indicator, above which substitutability cannot be allowed (Ekins et al., 2003; Mori and Christodoulou, 2012).”
Promise and problems of emergy analysis (2004, background): “The concept of critical natural capital and a framework to account for have has been suggested recently (Ekins et al., 2003).”
Establishing national natural capital accounts based on detailed Ecological Footprint and biological capacity assessments (2004, background): “One way to make this concept more operational is to narrow natural capital down to its critical elements, hence ‘critical natural capital’ (Ekins et al., 2003).”
Beyond GDP: Classifying Alternative Measures for Progress (2011, background): “-24The CRITINC approach (Ekins et al., 2003) is a general natural capital accounting”
The science, policy and practice of nature-based solutions: An interdisciplinary perspective. (2017, background): “Reflection, dialogue and democratic negotiation about the notions of sustainability and NBS is essential to safeguard socio-environmental justice (Ekins et al., 2003).”
