Efficiency vs sufficiency for a low carbon economy and the effect on economic growth.
A talk by Dr Julia Steinberger from the Sustainability Research Institute at the University of Leeds.
In the past, efficiency improvements have rarely resulted in decreases in the physical scale of the economy. In contrast, the sufficiency perspective, prioritizing basic human needs, is rarely considered, although it offers crucial insights into the range of possible human futures. Both the efficiency and sufficiency approaches have implications for economic growth. Depending on policy priorities, a more or less optimistic future may be possible.
