New Perspectives for Environmental Policies Through Behavioral Economics
This book presents essential insights on environmental policy derived from behavioral economics. The authors demonstrate the potential of behavioral economics to drive environmental protection and to generate concrete proposals for the efficient design of policy instruments. Moreover, detailed recommendations on how to use “nudges” and related instruments to move industry and society toward a sustainable course are presented. This book addresses the needs of environmental economists, behavioral economists and environmental policymakers, as well as all readers interested in the intersection between behavioral economics and environmental policy.
Corporate Social Responsibility auf dem Finanzmarkt
Finanzmärkte stellen in erster Linie Märkte zur Geldbeschaffung dar, auf denen Nachhaltigkeit kaum eine Rolle zu spielen scheint. Trotzdem reagieren Finanzmärkte auch auf Forderungen nach mehr gesellschaftlicher Verantwortung von Unternehmen. Welche Rolle spielen dabei soziale Gerechtigkeit und Umweltschutz wirklich? Antworten geben in diesem Sammelband ganz unterschiedliche Akteure und Beobachter des Finanzmarkts: Experten aus Banken und Ratingagenturen, Wirtschaftswissenschaftler, Vertreter der Politik und der Zivilgesellschaft. Sie diskutieren, welcher Anreize oder auch politischer Rahmenbedingungen dieser Markt bedarf, um auch im globalen Maßstab zum Wohl von Mensch und Umwelt ausgerichtet zu sein. Und sie erkunden, wie die Investoren selbst Unternehmensentscheidungen hin zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit zu befördern können.
Drinking Water Supply and Agricultural Pollution
Agricultural pollution (with nitrates and pesticides) is one of the biggest threats to drinking water resources. At many places regional and local water authorities, together with the water supply industry, are involved in preventive action aimed at farming practices. Three national case studies (Germany, The Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) analyse these efforts within the context of problematical national agricultural policy and the need to implement EU directives on water quality. Additional case studies cover the role of the European Union, while the same problem in a different setting is analysed for the United States. The central question of how national and European governments can reinforce the control capacity of the actors at the regional and local level, is treated from the theoretical perspective of the policy network approach.

Positional Analysis for Sustainable Development
Climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution of land and water, land-use changes, lack of equality and other problems at local, national and global levels represent a challenge for economics as a social science. Mainstream neoclassical economics may be able to contribute to a more sustainable society but it has also played a dominant role in a period where problems have been aggravated. A pluralist and democratic view of economics is therefore very much warranted. This book presents a multidimensional and ideologically more open view of economics: understanding economics in multidimensional terms is in accordance with the 17 sustainable development goals recognized by nations at the UN-level...
Economic Opportunities of Climate Action
Climate protection pays off! This is the central statement of the study "Economic opportunities through climate protection". The study examined which economic effects climate protection policy has had so far and which potentials will arise in the future. The results show: Climate protection goes hand in hand with innovation. Together with the necessary investments in renewable energies, energy efficiency, building refurbishment and climate-friendly mobility, it makes Germany fit for the future. Wages and gross domestic product are also rising in a world where the climate is being protected.
