18 p, 972.7 KB Self-sufficiency or surplus : Conflicting local and national rural development goals in Cambodia / Scheidel, Arnim (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Giampietro, Mario (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Ciència i Tecnologia Ambientals) ; Ramos Martín, Jesús (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Departament d'Economia i d'Història Econòmica)
Cambodia is currently experiencing profound processes of rural change, driven by an emerging trend of large-scale land deals. This article discusses potential future pathways by analyzing two contrasting visions and realities of land use: the aim of the governmental elites to foster surplus-producing rural areas for overall economic growth, employment creation and ultimately poverty reduction, and the attempts of smallholders to maintain and create livelihoods based on largely self-sufficient rural systems. [...]

18 p, 289.4 KB A pegada ecológica e a manutenção do capital natural : Limites para o crescimento econômico? / Iazdi, Oz (Universidade Estadual de Londrina) ; Pedroso, Fabiano (Universidade Estadual de Londrina)
O Pensamento Econômico Ecológico pode ter sua origem datada do final do século XIX, solidificándose como um paradigma científico organizado durante a segunda metade do século XX. Através de um entendimento de que a economia é um subsistema de um ecossistema local e global mais amplo, a Economia Ecológica (EE) postula que não é possível ignorar as características naturais e os aspectosbiofísicos envolvidos nos fluxos e estoques dos recursos utilizados ou transacionados pelo homem. [...]
Ecological Economics' Thought may have its origin dating from the end of the 19th century, solidifyin itself as an organized scientific paradigm during the second half of the 20th century. Through anunderstanding that the economy is a subsystem of a broader local and global ecosystem, EcologicalEconomics (EE) postulates that it is impossible to ignore the natural characteristics and biophysicalaspects involved in flows and stocks of resources used or transacted by men.

44 p, 677.3 KB La Economía del Estado Estacionario : ¿el único camino hacia un futuro sostenible? / Kerschner, Christian (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona)
Los economistas ecológicos (p. ej. : Herman Daly) dicen que el desarrollo sostenible solo puede alcanzarse mediante un drástico cambio en nuestro sistema económico basado en el crecimiento. El crecimiento económico continuo siendo éste el objetivo de cualquier gobierno, es inherentemente incompatible con el desarrollo sostenible, a menos que el desarrollo sostenible sea definido de forma débil, es decir aceptando sustituibilidad entre capital producido por el hombre y capital natural. [...]
Ecological Economists (e. g. : Herman Daly) claim that sustainable development can only be achieved by drastically changing our growth based economic system. Continuous economic growth, which is the goal of every government, is inherently incompatible with sustainable development, unless sustainable development is defined in a weak sense, that is as accepting substitutability between human made and natural capital.

The rotation of the Earth entails changes in environmental conditions that pervasively influence an organism's physiology and metabolism. An internal cellular mechanism known as the circadian clock acts as an internal timekeeper that is able to perceive the changes in environmental cues to generate 24-h rhythms in synchronization with daily and seasonal fluctuations.

The notion of green growth has emerged as a dominant policy response to climate change and ecological breakdown.

38 p, 1.5 MB Are countries achieving the Millennium Development Goals? / Permanyer, Iñaki
This paper uses two classes of multidimensional indices to measure countries' evolution towards the achievement of United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Our results suggest that improvements in the different MDGs tend to be uncorrelated among them and, on average, countries are largely off-track in their way towards MDGs achievement. [...]
L'article utilitza dues classes d'indicadors multidimensionals per mesurar l'evolució dels països envers la consecució dels Objectius de Desenvolupament del Mil·lenni (ODM) de Nacions Unides. Els resultats suggereixen que les millores en els diferents ODMs tendeixen a no estar correlacionades i que, en promig, els països no estan ben encarrilats de cara a la consecució dels ODM. [...]
