Book Presentation of “growth in transition”

5. March 2012

29.02.2012 in Brussels

Invitation to the book presentation of

29 February, 7-8:15pm
Permanent Representation of Austria to the EU, Avenue de Cortenberg, 30, Brussels

Edited by: Friedrich Hinterberger and Elke Pirgmaier (SERI), Elisabeth Freytag and Martina Schuster (Austrian Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Environment and Water Management)

About the book:
Stimulating growth through adjusting macroeconomic conditions remains the principal policy response to pressing problems of unemployment, poverty and environmental degradation. However, the current growth trajectory has neither led to a reduction of our overall resource use – as we use resources and energy more efficiently we consume more – nor created the conditions for full employment and increasing wellbeing.

Growth in Transition presents detailed key arguments for reconsidering the conditions for sustainable economies, with an international cast of commentators from politics, administration, civil society, business and science.

Contributors: Erik Assadourian (Worldwatch Institute), Kurt Bayer (EBRD), Gianfranco Bologna (WWF Italy), Andreas Breitenfellner (European Commission), Yang Cuihong (Chinese Academy of Sciences), Herman E. Daly (University of Maryland), Junko Edahiro (Japan for Sustainability), Sheng Fulai (UNEP), Maja Göpel (World Future Council), Tim Jackson (University of Surrey), Jo Leinen (European Parliament), Tomoo Machiba (OECD), Robin Miège (European Commission), Michaela Moser (European Anti Poverty Network), Philip Reuchlin (WBSCD), Juliet Schor (Boston College), Martin Sieker (European Economic and Social Committee), Māra Zīra, Guntars Ruskuls, Agrita Jēruma (Riga City Council).

Growth in Transition

The project “Growth in Transition” intends to trigger a dialogue among institutions and people about how we can shape this transformation process towards sustainability. It also aims at contributing to current EU and international processes and at informing the Austrian public about them (e.g. the EU initiative “Beyond GDP”).
