Ecological Economics: Reintegrating The Study Of Humans And Nature, Robert Costanza
Ecological Economics: Reintegrating The Study Of Humans And Nature, Robert Costanza
Institute for Sustainable Solutions Publications and Presentations
Ecological economics is a transdisciplinary effort to link the natural and social sciences broadly, and especially ecology and economics. The goal is to develop a deeper understanding of the complex linkages between ecological and economic systems, and to use that understanding to develop effective policies that will lead to a world that is ecologically sustainable, has a fair distribution of resources (both among groups and generations of humans and between humans and other species), and efficiently allocates scarce resources including natural capital. This will require new approaches that are comprehensive, adaptive, integrative, multi-scale, and pluralistic, and that acknowledge the huge …

Modeling Complex Ecological Economic Systems: Toward An Evolutionary, Dynamic Understanding Of People And Nature, Robert Costanza, Lisa Wainger, Carl Folke, Karl-Göran Mäler
Modeling Complex Ecological Economic Systems: Toward An Evolutionary, Dynamic Understanding Of People And Nature, Robert Costanza, Lisa Wainger, Carl Folke, Karl-Göran Mäler
Institute for Sustainable Solutions Publications and Presentations
Recent understanding about system dynamics and predictability that has emerged from the study of complex systems is creating new tools for modeling interactions between anthropogenic and natural systems. A range of techniques has become available through advances in computer speed and accessibility and by implementing a broad, interdisciplinary systems view.
Modeling Coastal Landscape Dynamics, Robert Costanza, Fred Hal Sklar, Mary L. White
Modeling Coastal Landscape Dynamics, Robert Costanza, Fred Hal Sklar, Mary L. White
Institute for Sustainable Solutions Publications and Presentations
Examines methods used to predict the way ecological systems respond to human modifications. Coastal marshes; Process-based dynamic spatial ecosystem simulation models; Coastal ecological landscape spatial simulation model; Scenario analysis.
Social Traps And Environmental Policy, Robert Costanza
Social Traps And Environmental Policy, Robert Costanza
Institute for Sustainable Solutions Publications and Presentations
In recent years, scientific understanding and public awareness of environmental problems have increased tremendously. Yet our ability to manage these problems effectively has in too many cases gotten worse, not better. By studying real-world social traps and laboratory examples, we can learn effective escapes.
