Economic Growth and the Environment

Figure 18.2: Environmental Kuznets Curve for Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Sulfur dioxide emissions per capita (kg) The empirical relationship between sulfur dioxide emissions and the level of economic development in a country supports the EKC hypothesis.

Table 18.1: Global Population Classification by Income and Environmental Impacts, 2013 Each of the three groups defined here needs to approach environmental sustainability with different objectives. • For the lower-income group, the focus must be on improving material living standards and expanding options while taking advantage of environmentally friendly technologies. • The challenge for the middle-income group is to keep overall environmental impacts per capita relatively stable by pursuing a development path that avoids a reliance on fossil fuels, disposable products, and ever-increasing levels of material consumption. • Finally, the high-income group must find a way to reduce environmental impacts per capita through technological improvements, intelligently designed policies, and changes in lifestyle aspirations.

Figure 18.5: A Consumption Possibilities Frontier Europe Leisure United States The diagram illustrates the tradeoff between consumption and leisure time. Europeans on average live at a lower material standard than people in the United States, because they do not work as many hours, hence earn less income. On the plus side, they enjoy more leisure time, which Americans sacrifice in order to be able to consume more. Income, Consumption

Are Stabilization and Sustainability in Conflict?

Figure 18.6: Growth Reaching a Steady-State Resource-using Economic Activities Steady State After starting with an exponential growth pattern, an economy adapting to a steady-state reduces its rate of growth in what is called a logistical pattern, approaching a maximum level at which economic activity stabilizes.

Figure 18.8: Population by Age and Sex, United States, 1900, 2000, and 2040 (projected) (c) 2040, projected In 1900, the “population pyramid” shows a small elderly population, a larger middle-aged population, and an even larger population of children. By 2000, falling birth rates made the middle tiers of the “pyramid” bulge outward. The proportion of older people in the population is forecast to be much higher in future decades.
