Financing the responsible supply of energy transition minerals
A group of minerals has emerged in recent years as critical to low-carbon energy and other technologies. The extraction and processing of these minerals will have to increase substantially if countries’ plans for transitioning away from fossil fuels are to be realised. This paper sets out the challenges posed by this projected expansion in mineral production, and how they need to be addressed if this expansion is to take place. One of the main ch…
Conflicting Messages From Weak and Strong Sustainability Metrics
Weak and strong sustainability represent two opposing ways of understanding sustainability. This is reflected in the metrics used to monitor both types of sustainability, where the former favours monetary aggregates of manufactured, human, and natural capital, while the latter favours biophysical indicators. A comparison of the outcomes of weak and strong sustainability metrics leads to conflicting messages between the two paradigms when assessin…

Monitoring environmental sustainability in Japan
This paper assesses the environmental sustainability of Japan by applying the environmental sustainability gap (ESGAP) framework, which builds on the concepts of strong sustainability, critical natural capital, environmental functions, and science-based reference values. The assessment is carried out using two indices of environmental sustainability (Strong Environmental Sustainability Index (SESI) and Strong Environmental Sustainability Progress…
Methodological choices for reflecting strong sustainability in composite indices
Composite indicators are widely used to represent sustainability or its underlying dimensions. Nonetheless, an alignment between the multiple choices made during their construction and the underlying conceptual framework is often lacking. This reduces the relevance of the composite indicator. This paper provides an overview of the theoretical implications of the choices made during the construction of strong sustainability indices, particularly f…

Development of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Vietnam from a coevolutionary governance perspective
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are widely recognised as a management framework for achieving biodiversity conservation and sustainable ocean uses. Although the attention to improving the governance of MPAs as a priority for achieving effective MPAs has been escalated, debates concerning MPA governance are inspired mainly by the bottom-up governance approach and its focus on horizontal and vertical linkages as a means of resolving conflicts, with t…

The costs and benefits of environmental sustainability
The natural science in GEO-6 makes clear that a range and variety of unwelcome outcomes for humanity, with potentially very significant impacts for human health, become increasingly likely if societies maintain their current development paths. This paper assesses what is known about the likely economic implications of either current trends or the transformation to a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy in the years to 2050 for which GEO-6 ca…

The Kuznets Curve for the Environment and Economic Growth
Recent research has examined the relationship between certain indicators of environmental quality and income, concluding on the basis of econometric estimation that in some cases an inverted-U relationship, which has been called an environmental Kuznets curve (EKC), exists between these variables. There has been speculation on the implications of this for economic and environmental policy. In this paper I examine this research as a whole and find…

The European Structural Funds and Sustainable Development
Sustainable development (SD) is now a broad policy objective in the European Union (EU). This article explores how the contribution to SD of the EU Structural Funds (SFs) might be evaluated. It suggests the use of a ‘four-capitals model’ of SD, and outlines how commonly accepted principles and dimensions of sustainability might be interpreted within such a model. The article then reviews various approaches to SD indicators, concluding that an ind…

Trade Liberalisation, Economic Growth and the Environment
Concern with the impact of economic growth on the environment goes back at least to the early 1970s. Worries about the environmental impacts of trade liberalisation are more recent. This book considers both topics in a single analytical framework. The topics overlap because trade liberalisation is usually taken to be a major stimulus to economic growth, but there are other possible impacts of trade liberalisation on the environment, which this bo…

Eco‐efficiency Trends in the UK Steel and Aluminum Industries
Measures of eco‐efficiency—broadly understood as “getting more from less”—often include an economic and an environmental variable. The latter is often seen as the more problematic variable, particularly when used in relation to impacts of public concern. But an analysis of resource and value trends in the U.K. steel and aluminum industries over the last 30 yr showed that there are significant problems associated with using economic variables in m…
Making trade sustainable impact assessment more relevant to trade negotiations
While trade sustainability impact assessments (trade SIAs) have generated much useful information about the potential impacts of trade liberalisation, they have made very limited impact on trade negotiations, which generate unresolved controversy, if not deadlock. This paper contends that one reason for this is that trade SIAs do not explicitly recognise the motives for countries to resist free trade. Five such motives are identified, with very d…
