Organization and the ecological crisis – a lecture series
Event Description
In this seminar, Inge Røpke – Denmark’s first professor of ecological economics – will reflect on what we can learn from the trajectory of ecological economics.
The seminar will cover three main themes:
(1) What happens to economics when we add “ecological”? How ecological economics has attempted to redefine the foundational building blocks of the discipline.
(2) What has been the trajectory of ecological economics in Denmark? Røpke will reflect on her own experience – both as an academic and as a public figure – and the successes and failures of advancing ecological economics in a Danish context.
(3) Why we need to pay attention to sufficiency. Røpke will discuss how sufficiency should become a political and societal goal if we are to develop an ecological economy.
Bio: Inge Røpke is Professor Emerita of Ecological Economics at Aalborg University’s campus in Copenhagen, Department of Sustainability and Planning. She has published widely on ecological economics, consumption and environment, energy use and information technology in everyday life, and ecological macroeconomics. Her 2020 paper “Econ 101 – in need of a sustainability transition”, published in Ecological Economics, sums up insights across these fields. Together with colleagues, she has written introductory teaching material on ecological economics, freely available as a website: http://www.ecomacundervisning.dk/?lang=en
