ECO-CAPITALISM - ROBERT GUTTMANN GEBUNDEN

Our planet faces a systemic threat from climate change  which the world community of nations is
ill-prepared to address  and this book argues that a new form of ecologically conscious
capitalism is needed in order to tackle this serious and rising threat. While the Paris Climate
Agreement of 2015 has finally implemented a global climate policy regime  its modest means
belie its ambitious goals. Our institutional financial organizations are not equipped to deal
with the problems that any credible commitment to a low-carbon economy will have to confront.
We will have to go beyond cap-and-trade schemes and limited carbon taxes to cut greenhouse gas
emissions substantially in due time. This book offers a way forward toward that goal  with a
conceptual framework that brings environmental preservation back into our macro-economic growth
and forecasting models. This framework obliges firms to consider other goals beyond shareholder
value maximization  outlining the principal tenets of a climate-friendly finance and
introducing a new type of money linked to climate mitigation and adaptation efforts.
