L’environnement du point de vue des économistes

This manual offers a comprehensive overview of key economic theories applied to environmental issues. It covers classical views of nature as a resource, externalities theory, and critiques of the "Tragedy of the Commons" by Hardin and Ostrom. Behavioral economics concepts, such as status quo bias and nudging, are examined in environmental decision-making. The manual also discusses environmental justice, focusing on the North-South divide and its historical and structural causes. Finally, it explores the transition to a sustainable economy, addressing green growth, post-growth, and climate change challenges.
