| fussnote | Ecological economics is a new transdisciplinary approach that looks at the full range of inter-relationships between ecological and economic systems. This breadth is essential if we are to understand and manage our planet wisely in the face of mounting interdependent global environmental, population, and economic development problems. This paper summarizes the state and goals of this emerging transdisciplinary field, particularly as regards issues of sustainability, and provides a working agenda for research. Assuring sustainability of ecological economic systems depends on our ability to make local and short-term goals and incentives (like local economic growth and private interests) consistent with global and long-term goals (like sustainability and global welfare). This requires: (1) establishing a hierarchy of goals for local, national, and global ecological economic planning and management; (2) developing better regional and global ecological economic modelling capabilities to allow us to see the range of possible outcomes of our current activities; (3) adjusting prices and other local incentives to reflect long run, global ecological costs, including uncertainty; and (4) developing policies that lead to no further decline in the stock of natural capital. |
