Si le «développement durable» fait aujourd'hui partie de notre vocabulaire, c'est en partie parce qu'il nous interpelle en de nombreux endroits de la planète. Personne n'échappe au réchauffement climatique, chacun peut constater une disparition de la biodiversité et personne ne peut rester insensible aux conséquences sociales de la pauvreté et du chômage. Cet ouvrage est le fruit de recherches et de programmes d'actions menés dans les pays du Nord et du Sud. La première partie interroge nos représentations du développement durable, profondément ancrées dans la culture et les choix technologiques occidentaux. Dans un tel contexte, imaginer une société où «le vivre ensemble» pourrait s'enrichir de nos différences et être décliné en de nombreux modèles n'est pas une utopie, mais bien un défi à relever. La deuxième partie nous invite à réfléchir sur nos engagements et nos actions collectives afin d'internaliser les problématiques du développement durable et le rendre plus opérationnel (agriculture durable, gouvernance territoriale...). Enfin, la troisième partie précise que les changements de comportements attendus doivent reposer sur une éducation au développement durable. Il s'agit ici de promouvoir une écocitoyenneté reposant sur des devoirs et des obligations. L'action, la volonté, la réflexivité... deviennent des compétences et c'est à cette condition que nous parviendrons à prendre en mains notre avenir. Cet ouvrage intéressera les étudiants et enseignants en sciences de l'éducation, sciences économiques et sociales, sciences de la vie et de la terre et, plus généralement, toute personne concernée par le développement durable et l'avenir de la planète. II donne la parole à des chercheurs des pays du Nord et du Sud, partageant une même vision de la durabilité.

L’expression «économie de la nature» a surgi dans le vocabulaire des sciences au XVIIIe siècle bien avant que le néologisme «écologie» ne s’impose à nous, plus d’un siècle et demi plus tard. Chez Carl von Linné, Gilbert White ou Charles Darwin, l’économie de la nature désigne l’organisation des relations entre les espèces au vu du climat, du territoire et de leur évolution. Cette économie pense l’imbrication des espèces, y compris les êtres humains, dans un réseau d’interactions incommensurables et impondérables. Mais très vite, les physiocrates, les premiers «économistes», la dévoient pour fonder une science de l’agriculture subordonnée à de prétendues lois du marché. Un détournement dont nous pâtissons jusqu’à ce jour. Tant que ne sera pas restitué son sens, le terme «économie» nous donnera l’impression de voir double dès lors que flanqué de celui d’«écologie». Il nous sera alors dit qu’il faut tenter de réconcilier l’une à l’autre, comme s’il s’agissait de deux champs distincts. Ce court essai s’emploie à redonner ses droits à l’économie de la nature.

This policy guidance outlines a number of steps to be considered when building capacity for greening national development planning, national budgetary processes and key economic sector strategies. It identifies the key actors to be engaged in the decision making processes, outlines possible capacity needs and suggests how these can be addressed. This policy guidance is intended to support developing countries in their efforts to move to a greener development path. It is also intended to assist development co-operation and environment agencies in their efforts to support that process.

McDonald's promises to use only beef, coffee, fish, chicken, and cooking oil obtained from sustainable sources. Coca-Cola promises to achieve water neutrality. Unilever has set a deadline of 2020 to reach 100 percent sustainable agricultural sourcing. Walmart has pledged to become carbon neutral. Today, big-brand companies seem to be making commitments that go beyond the usual "greenwashing" efforts undertaken largely for public relations purposes. In Eco-Business, Peter Dauvergne and Jane Lister examine this new corporate embrace of sustainability, its actual accomplishments, and the consequences for the environment. For many leading-brand companies, these corporate sustainability efforts go deep, reorienting central operations and extending through global supply chains. Yet, as Dauvergne and Lister point out, these companies are doing this not for the good of the planet but for their own profits and market share in a volatile, globalized economy. They are using sustainability as a business tool. Advocacy groups and governments are partnering with these companies, eager to reap the governance potential of eco-business efforts. But Dauvergne and Lister show that the acclaimed eco-efficiencies achieved by big-brand companies limit the potential for finding deeper solutions to pressing environmental problems and reinforce runaway consumption. Eco-business promotes the sustainability of big business, not the sustainability of life on Earth.

Some call it the ‘perfect storm’: a devastating combination of financial collapse and environmental catastrophe. A growing consensus recognises the need to shift economies and social structures towards more sustainable models: the very focus of this book. The rising tide of political interest in combining ‘growth’ with ‘green' is now an explicit item on the agenda of key countries, particularly in East Asia and the European Union, where flagship green-growth strategies are at the heart of its blueprint for competitiveness. This volume is a practical guide that helps the reader build a quick, evidence-based understanding of green-growth strategies and challenges. Its cogent analysis of real-life case studies enables policy makers and company executives identify successful strategies they can adopt, and pitfalls they can avoid, in drafting and implementing green growth policies. The contributors’ empirical assessment of these studies identifies the structural conditions required for economic growth to be compatible with environmental sustainability and how the transition to a new economic paradigm should be managed. A crucial addition to the debate now beginning in earnest around the world, this volume attempts to understand how we can nurture a new-born model of sustainable growth and help it evolve to maturity.

Oil is the lifeblood of modern industrial economies. Petroleum powers virtually all motorized transport, which in turn enables most economic activities and provides mobility for citizens. But oil is a finite resource that is steadily depleting. In the past decade, the phenomenon of global peak oil – the fact that annual world oil production must at some point reach a maximum and then decline – has emerged as one of the twenty-first century’s greatest challenges. South Africa imports over two-thirds of its petroleum fuels, and history has shown that oil price shocks generally translate into a weakening currency, rising consumer prices, increasing joblessness and a slow-down in economic activity. This book examines the implications of peak oil for socioeconomic welfare in South Africa and proposes a wide range of strategies and policies for mitigating and adapting to the likely impacts. It contains a wealth of data in tables and figures that illustrate South Africa’s oil dependencies and vulnerabilities to oil shocks. The material is presented from a systems perspective and is organized in key thematic areas including energy, transport, agriculture, macro-economy and society. The study highlights the risks, uncertainties and difficult choices South Africa faces if it is to tackle its oil addiction, and thereby serves as an example for researchers, planners and policy-makers in the developing world who will sooner or later confront similar challenges. This case study brings a fresh southern perspective to an issue of global importance, and shows how the era of flattening and then declining global oil supplies may be a pivotal period in which either the project of industrialization progressively runs out of steam, or societies are able to undertake a proactive transition to a more sustainable future.
