    current economic model

    This gets tossed around a lot. There are other economic models in use around the world. Are there any studies as to their climate pact?

      Edit: In relation to your question, I’m pretty sure that you could find such texts, if you look into Scandinavian relevant studies.

      Some other readings would be in relation to Social Ecology


      I will not directly reply to your question, but use it as an input to share a couple of thoughts…

      The current economic model has infinite growth embedded in it and the planet is finite. In a way, it is expanding in a colonialist manner. Also, it is the predominant one all over the world. This is why we have a triple planetary crises: climate change, biodiversity loss, as well as pollution/waste.

      Personally, I don’t think we need an economic model to organise societies. We need a societal organisational model, or many actually, that are based on horizontal decision-making processes, as well as sustainability. How to get from here to there, I suppose it’s whole another topic.

      This is a great question. I do not know the answer, but I would be very interested in seeing such a study.
