We face serious environmental problems. People are looking for answers
in a green economic future. But what would it look like? IDEAS host Paul Kennedy
moderates a debate at the University of Ottawa on the resolution: Be it
resolved that building an environmentally sustainable society will
require an end to economic growth. Participants include Peter Victor, author of Managing Without Growth: Slower By Design, Not Disaster, Tim Jackson, author of Prosperity Without Growth: Economics for a Finite Planet; Richard Lipsey, one of Canada's pre-eminent economists, and Paul Ekins, author of Economic Growth and Environmental Sustainability: The Prospects for Green Growth.
