| | Global environmental problems
like climate change should be
conceptualised as problems of
consumption and not production
patterns. A consumption rather
than a production-based vision
for environmentally sustainable
economic growth would make
the design and implementation
of climate protection, as well as
other environmental problems,
more effective. Moreover,
implementation in the context
of international burden sharing,
where benefits are not equally
shared, requires a very different
organising framework that is not
based on cost-benefit analysis and
commitments to reduce emissions
determined in international
negotiations, but rather on
political justice and transfer
of technology.
