Crisis or opportunity? Economic degrowth for social equity and ecological sustainability. Introduction to this special issue (2010, background): “While South America exports six times as many tons as it imports, the European Union imports four times as many tons as it exports [56].”
Social Metabolism, Ecological Distribution Conflicts, and Valuation Languages (2010, background): “…activism and science in the development and use of concepts such as the Ecological Debt and Ecologically Unequal Exchange (Robleto and Marcelo, 1992; Giljum and Eisenmenger, 2004; Simms, 2005; Robert and Parks, 2007; Rice, 2007; Hornborg and Jorgensen, 2010; Paredis et al., 2008; Srinivasan et…”
Methodology and Indicators of Economy‐wide Material Flow Accounting (2011, background): “…to energy-intensive and material-intensive raw material extraction processes that were not adequately reflected in national material flow data (e.g., Fischer-Kowalski and Amann 2001; Bringezu et al. 2004; Giljum 2004; Giljum and Eisenmenger 2004; Schütz et al. 2004; Giljum and Muradian 2007).”
Growth in global materials use, GDP and population during the 20th century (2009, background): “13 Indirectly, their share may have been even larger, as many materially and energetically intensive production processes have been externalized to developing countries but result in commodities used in industrial countries (Fischer-Kowalski and Amann, 2001; Giljum and Eisenmenger, 2004).”
Shipbreaking at Alang-Sosiya (India): An ecological distribution conflict (2010, background): “This supports the proposition of an unequal distribution of natural resources between different world regions (Giljum and Eisenmenger, 2004).”
Ecologically Unequal Exchange, Ecological Debt, and Climate Justice (2009, background): “Although a declining material intensity of GDP does not necessarily translate into lower levels of absolute resource consumption, this ‘dematerialization’ trend is celebrated as a great environmental victory (Giljum and Eisenmenger, 2004).”
Environmental Justice and Economic Degrowth: An Alliance between Two Movements (2012, background): “Movements in countries or regions that are net exporters of raw materials are calling for taxes on those exports to help address the environmental damage associated with extracting them (Giljum and Eisenmenger 2004; Muñoz, et al. 2009).”
Ecological Unequal Exchange: Consumption, Equity, and Unsustainable Structural Relationships within the Global Economy (2007, background): “In terms of the supply of environmental resources, researchers have adopted materials fl ow analysis to chart the movement of natural resources by weight to evaluate the degree of export-import from the periphery, revealing that even as prices decline the movement of resources to the core generally ”
CALCULATING ENERGY-RELATED CO2 EMISSIONS EMBODIED IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE USING A GLOBAL INPUT–OUTPUT MODEL (2012, background): “…countries to maintain high environmental quality within their own borders, while externalising the negative environmental consequences of their consumption processes to other parts of the world (see, for example, Ahmad and Wyckoff, 2003; Giljum and Eisenmenger, 2004; Muradian et al., 2002).”
