The UAB Publications Service joins the debate on sustainability and economic growth with the publication and promotion of the book "Economía circular. El camino hacia la sostenibilidad" (Circular Economy: The Path Towards Sustainability), by Joan Rieradevall and Carles Gasol. The work addresses the tension between the need to be competitive and the obligation to protect the environment.
In a recent interview on the Inedit Innova platform, the authors highlighted the central thesis of their work: "The challenge is to be competitive while caring for the environment; if we don't succeed, we'll be forced into compulsory degrowth."
The interview delves into crucial topics developed in the book, such as the unsustainability of the current model and the need for a real ecological transition, the social and economic implications of potential forced degrowth, the role of innovation and technology in achieving planetary-friendly competitiveness, and the responsibility of companies and university institutions in finding solutions.
This publication is part of the UAB's editorial line dedicated to current social and research topics, offering rigorous analytical tools to understand the great challenges of the 21st century.
We encourage you to read the full interview on Inedit Innova and consult the book to delve deeper into the debate.
