A word from the author :
We say that children are in a growth phase when they are growing and healthy.
It’s the same thing in economics: a country’s growth is measured regularly to check that the country is in good health. Various performance indicators are used to do this, such as GDP (gross domestic product).
But is economic growth compatible with environmental protection?
To address this problem we need to use other indicators to measure economic growth, such as sustainable development.
I have designed this course to give you an insight into the mechanisms behind economic growth. We will also examine the impact of this growth on the environment by considering sustainable development.
