Finance, energy and the decoupling: an empirical study

By: Alevgul H. Sorman, Zora Kovacic, Marcello Spanò, Samuele Lo Piano

Abstract: This paper investigates the empirical and theoretical basis of the decoupling between energy throughput and economic growth, with a critical view of the use of the decoupling concept as a policy priority. We provide an analysis of the historical trends of the metabolic pattern of European economies over a period of 18 years focusing on the changes in energy throughput and financial...

Glück auf? - Bergbau vor der Zeitwende

By: Conrad Kunze, Tadzio Müller, Martin David, Frank Uekötter, Daniel Hiß, Dirk Teßmer, Michael Reckordt, Rupert Wronski, Swantje Fiedler, Anika Zor, Birgit Jeschke, Andreas Sikorski, Friedhelm Keimeyer, Falk Schulze, Andy Gheorghiu, Tina Mieritz, Thorsten Diercks, Alena Bleicher, Magdalena Wallkamm, Stefan Bringezu, Cathrin Klenck, Hartmut Graßl, Ulrich Mössner, Gertrud Falk, Richard Mergner

Zeitschrift "politische ökologie" 144 - 2016 Bergbauaktivitäten stehen weltweit zunehmend am Pranger, gehen sie doch mit gravierenden ökologischen und sozialen Problemen einher. Insbesondere dem Abbau fossiler Energieträger, allen voran dem "Klimakiller Kohle", weht ein steifer Protestwind entgegen. Schon länger in der Kritik steht auch das antiquierte Bundesberggesetz, denn es befeuert den...

Kontrollverlust: RWE und die Braunkohle im Rheinischen Revier

By: Karin de Miguel-Wessendorf, Matthias Holland-Letz

WDR 5: Der nordrhein-westfälische Energiekonzern RWE steht mächtig unter Druck. Jahrzehntelang produzierte er Strom aus Braunkohle – und entwickelte sich zu Europas größtem Erzeuger von klimaschädlichem CO2. Und nun? Der Riss geht mitten durch das Rheinische Revier, die Region zwischen Aachen und Köln. Auf der einen Seite stehen der Energiekonzern RWE und seine 9.000 Mitarbeiter, die weiterhin...

Green Economy - Mut zur Effizienz und Befreiung

By: Kai Niebert

Herausgeber_innen: In der Postwachstumsdebatte wird intensiv das Konzept der Grünen Ökonomie diskutiert. Als neues Leitbild verspricht es Lösungen für ökologische und ökonomische Probleme. Doch kann die Green Economy das wirklich? Wenn es der Gesellschaft tatsächlich gelingen soll, in der Zukunft anzukommen, ist es notwendig umzusatteln und sowohl Ross als auch Reiter zu wechseln.

Assessment of the potential of Renewable Energy Sources Cooperatives (RESCoops) in Spain towards Sustainable Degrowth

By: Iñigo Capellán Pérez

The transition to renewable energies is at the heart of the Sustainable Degrowth (SD) proposals due to its potential to relocalize and democratize the energy generation in a sustainable way. In this paper, we review the development and current situation of RESCoops in Spain, assessing their strengths, barriers and opportunities as a means towards SD. This is an interesting case study since,...

Can degrowth and maintaining energy supply security go hand-in-hand in Europe?

By: John Szabo

Insuring European energy security in a degrowth environment, is essential in maintaining current levels of well-being. To transition toward a sustainable economy, the current, heavy reliance upon hydrocarbon imports needs to be tuned down and substituted with domestic energy production from renewable resources—primarily solar and wind—, leading to a substantial decrease in emissions emitted,...

Deep decarbonisation and social justice – an overview of policy proposals

By: Klara Hajdu

Transition to a sustainable economy requires a fundamental change in how we use natural resources in a quantitative and qualitative way. Not only a substantial reduction of resource use is needed in a range of 3 to 5, but also a deep decarbonisation needs to take place, which results in zero GHG emissions by mid century. At the same time the growing national and international inequalities pose...

Economic modelling and Degrowth

By: Federico Demaria, Claudio Cattaneo, Simone D'Alessandro, Giovanni Bernardo, Ilaria Perissi

Degrowth calls for a sustainable downscaling of production and consumption, to enhance wellbeing and environmental sustainability. It is important, for the widespread acceptance of this aim, to show how and under which conditions sustainable degrowth can be achieved. In order to gain a broad political legitimacy, the social and environmental effects of no-growth policies need to be shown and...

Energy poverty in a degrowth context: an unavoidable struggle?

By: Daniel Gerbery, Lidija Živčič, Lidija Živčič, Richard Filcak, Sergio Tirado Herrero

Austerity-driven, unsustainable degrowth has resulted in a surge of energy poverty in EU and beyond. Understood as the inability of households to secure a materially- and socially-necessitated level of energy services in the home, energy poverty has become a widespread societal concern that demands structural responses. Tensions are foreseen between energy poverty alleviation and degrowth. On...

Sustainable Farm Systems? Applying Energy—Landscape Integrated Analysis in past and present Western agricultures

By: Claudio Cattaneo

ELIA (Energy Landscape Integrated Analysis) is a method that combines energy analysis of agroecosystems (energy flows and capacity to store energy within them) with land cover / land use change and so it represents the energy imprint over a landscape. First applied to Vallès County in the Barcelona Region a similar study is here replicated to a new time point and to other ten cases across...

Vulnerability and Energy Economy Nexus at the Sector Level: Analysis of Czech Republic

By: Mikuláš Černík

Today's fossil fuel dependent economies face two main problems. Firstly they must reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in order to avoid dangerous consequences of climate change. Secondly, they must cope with reduced availability, increasing cost and price volatility of fossil primary energy sources, most importantly of oil and gas due to declining conventional sources and geopolitical...

Wind energy conflicts and the politization of energy transitions. A study on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec Region (Oaxaca, Mexico)

By: Sofía Ávila

In the context of climate change and energy concerns, wind energy production is being increasingly supported by international agencies, public policies and private investment. Although large-scale wind farms are promoted worldwide as win-win strategies, such projects are causing a growing number of local conflicts, bringing upon new dimensions to the energy transition debate. This paper studies...
