「グリーン成長」の次のパラダイムは何か

抄録

To meet the long-term goal of the Paris Agreement for mitigating climate change,many countries including Japan have adopted the ‘green growth’ strategy to decarbonize their economies. While the transition from conventional growth to green growth is seen as a desirable paradigm shift, green growth is now criticized for its insufficient plausibility of decoupling emissions from GDP and expected negative consequences on social equality. As an alternative paradigm, ‘degrowth’ has been proposed. Degrowth has some commonality with ‘Green New Deal’, but it calls for a more radical transformation of the socio-economic system. Though a desirable next paradigm is uncertain, at least we need to look squarely at downsides of green growth and seriously seek to overcome them or to find a new way forward.
