The energetic metabolism of societies and the degrowth paradigm: analyzing biophysical constraints and realities (2013, background): “The idea that the pattern of activities carried out by human societies should be studied by looking at the resulting pattern of energy transformations has been proposed in the last century by several authors e Podolinsky (quoted in Martinez-Alier, 1987; Ostwald, 1907, 1911; Vernadskiĭ, 1926; Zipf, 1”
Sustainable de-growth: Mapping the context, criticisms and future prospects of an emergent paradigm (2010, background): “The two intellectual currents of sustainable de-growth and steady state economy thusmightbe seen to agreewith the idea that societieswill find it problematic to undergo sudden de-growth, for instance in terms of GDP, or perhaps to a lesser extent in terms of energy andmaterials of say, 30–40% even i”
The contradiction of the sustainable development goals: Growth versus ecology on a finite planet (2019, background): “…literature on how high‐income countries can maintain and even improve their levels of human development while slowing their economic activity (e.g., Alier, 2009; Jackson, 2009; Kallis, 2011; Kallis, 2018; Victor, 2008), for example by redistributing existing income, investing in social services,…”
Is Green Growth Possible? (2019, unknown): “Staying within planetary boundaries may require a de-growth of production and consumption in high-consuming nations (Victor 2008, Alier 2009, Jackson 2009, Kallis 2011, Kallis et al. 2012), and a shift away from the narrow growthfocused development agenda in the global South. As Gough (2017) notes, ”
Green, circular, bio economy: A comparative analysis of sustainability avenues (2017, background): “Notably, it may be that none of the three concepts (CE, GE and BE) are in fact embedded in strong sustainability since according to several scholars, unlimited growth cannot be reconciled with strong sustainability (e.g. Alier, 2009; Lorek and Fuchs, 2013).”
In defence of degrowth (2011, background): “…as a possible manifestation of ecological limits to growth (Kallis et al., 2009), with environmental benefits due to reduced CO2 emissions (Martinez-Alier, 2009a) and as a window of opportunity for political changes thatwillmake the inevitable degrowthof the economy socially sustainable (Schneider…”
Growth, A-Growth or Degrowth to Stay within Planetary Boundaries? (2012, background): “As an alternative, degrowth proponents argue for a “prosperous way down” (Odum and Odum 2001) — that is, a “socially sustainable economic degrowth” (Martinez-Alier 2009).”
Agrofuels in the food regime (2010, background): “Joan Martinez-Alier (2009) reinforces this by noting that the Kyoto Protocol enabled the North to obtain property rights on carbon sinks in the South and the atmosphere in return for reduced emission targets.”
The economics of degrowth (2012, background): “(Martinez-Alier, 2012).”
Future green economies and regional development: a research agenda (2017, unknown): “…with, existing movements, especially in Latin America, such as post-extractivism, alternatives to development (A2D), solidarity economies and Living Well/Buen Vivir, all of which focus on issues such as livelihoods, environmental justice and land annexation (Hollender, 2015; Martínez-Alier, 2009).”
Measuring progress in the degrowth transition to a steady state economy (2012, unknown): “An important outcome of the conference, which is reflected in the declaration and other recent literature (e.g. Kallis, 2011; Kerschner, 2010;Martínez-Alier, 2009; Schneider et al., 2010), is that degrowth is a process whose end goal is a steady state economy.”
