Solving the world’s environmental problems could take a significant toll on economic growth if only today’s technologies are available. We know that  innovation – the creation and adoption of new cleaner technologies and know-how – provides a means to achieve local and global environmental goals at significantly lower costs. Innovation is also a major driver of economic growth.   OECD governments are increasingly using environmentally related taxes because they are typically one of the most effective policy tools available. Exploring the relationship between environmentally related taxation and innovation is critical to understanding the full impacts of this policy instrument as well as one potential facet of “green growth.” By putting a price on pollution, do environmentally related taxes spur innovation? What types of innovation result? Does the design of the tax play a critical role? What is the effect of this innovation?  In analysing these questions, this report draws on case studies that cover Japan, Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Israel and others. It covers a wide set of environmental issues and technologies, as well as the economic and policy contexts. The research methods range from econometric analysis to interviews with business owners and executives. The report also explores the use of environmentally related taxes in OECD countries and outlines considerations for policymakers when implementing these taxes.  Green growth policies can stimulate economic growth while preventing environmental degradation, biodiversity loss and unsustainable natural resource use. The results from this publication will contribute to the Green Growth Strategy being developed by the OECD as a practical policy package for governments to harness the potential of greener growth.

Cessons de nous raconter des histoires sur « la crise » ! Et regardons de face le cœur du problème qui se pose à la société humaine en ce début du XXIe siècle : les contraintes écologiques interdisent que le niveau de vie occidental se généralise à l’échelle du monde. Il devra donc baisser pour que chacun ait sa juste part. Autrement dit, l’appauvrissement matériel de l’Occident est inéluctable. Comment allons-nous vivre cette mutation : en changeant nos sociétés pour nous adapter au mieux à ce nouveau monde, ou en nous opposant au sens de l’histoire, au prix d’un déchaînement de la violence ? Déjà en cours de traduction dans plusieurs langues, ce récit phosphorescent d’idées originales prend comme fil conducteur les tribulations de l’humanité depuis son apparition sur terre. Captivant et à rebours du discours dominant, il nous invite à une dérangeante lucidité. Mais ce livre est également habité par un optimisme communicatif : oui, un nouveau monde est possible.

Ce livre expose les principales théories et les concepts fondamentaux permettant d’explorer les liens entre l’économie et l’environnement. Il propose des réponses synthétiques et claires aux nombreuses questions qui se posent actuellement sur des sujets aussi divers que l’effet de serre, le recul de la biodiversité, la pollution de l’air et des sols, la raréfaction des ressources naturelles, les désordres énergétiques, l'impact du progrès techniques sur le cadre de vie, etc. Il traite également des « tensions » entre la croissance et l’environnement, entre l'économie de marché et la protection des ressources et précise la manière dont les politiques publiques, au niveau national comme au niveau international, tentent de triompher des difficultés rencontrées.L'ouvrage s'adresse aux étudiants des 1er et 2e cycles universitaires, des écoles d'ingénieurs, des IEP et des écoles de commerce. Il constitue également un ouvrage de référence pour tous ceux qui souhaitent appréhender correctement les enjeux et les problèmes qu'impose, dans le contexte actuel, la mise en oeuvre d'un développement plus durable.
