Energy, Economic Growth and Environmental Sustainability: Five Propositions (2010, background): “In a recent review, Heiskanen and Jalas [55] concluded that the environmental benefits of product-to-service arrangements are modest at best while Suh [56] estimates that a shift to service-oriented economy could actually increase carbon emissions (although reduce the carbon intensity of GDP) owing ”
Green growth and climate change: conceptual and empirical considerations (2016, unknown): “The debate on growth-versus-environment is old and continues to the present day (Arrow et al., 1995; Beckerman, 1974; Daly, 1996; Dasgupta, 2001; Jackson, 2009; Meadows, Meadows, Randers, & Behrens III, 1972; Mishan, 1967; Victor, 2008).”
Theories of practice -- New inspiration for ecological economic studies on consumption (2009, background): “The general conditions for performing practices – real income, income distribution, energy prices, labour market institutions etc. –must restrict the possibilities for increasing consumption, and this is better done by design than by disaster, as argued by Victor (2008).”
The green economy agenda: business as usual or transformational discourse?

Ecological Macroeconomic Models: Assessing Current Developments (2017, background): “As many authors have argued in this journal and beyond, the largescale degradation of ecosystems requires a fundamental transformation of our economic system away from continuous economic growth (Jackson, 2009; Martínez-Alier et al., 2010; Victor, 2008).”
Is Green Growth Possible? (2019, unknown): “Van der Voet et al. (2004) find that while the mass flows of individual materials are not indicative of their ecological impacts, and while impacts vary as technologies change, at an aggregate level there is a high degree of correlation (0.”
Environment versus growth — A criticism of "degrowth" and a plea for "a-growth" (2011, background): “The logical consequence of the a-growth goal is thatwe should relax about growth, and possibly be satisfied with slower growth (Victor, 2008).”
Climate-Resilient Pathways: Adaptation, Mitigation, and Sustainable Development (2014, background): “…food and livelihoods associated with the idea of sustainable development (Ehrenfeld, 2008; Grist, 2008; Marston, 2012; see also Victor and Rosenbluth, 2007; Victor, 2008) and with efforts to define and establish “safe operating spaces” for humanity (Röckstrom et al., 2009; Preston et al., 2013).”
A Vision for Human Well-Being: Transition to Social Sustainability (2012, unknown): “It has been variously defined as a shift to Green technology & materials [47,48], incorporating new economic accounting and incentives [49–51], moving from carbon-intensive technologies to laborintensive work [48,52], degrowth in developed countries and a changed emphasis from goods to services [53,”

A coevolutionary framework for analysing a transition to a sustainable low carbon economy (2011, background): “Recent work in this area has challenged the mainstream economic idea that continuous economic growth, measured by increasing GDP, is possible or desirable within an ecologically ‘full’ world, and argued that broader understanding and new measures are needed of the social and economic factors leading”
