Economic Theories on Environmental Protection - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 403/404 Environmental protection/economic policy/economic theory: From an economic point of view, the environmental problems that still exist (...) do not lead to the demand for maximum environmental protection. From an economic point of view (...) the natural environment as such has no intrinsic value, but rather requires a reference to satisfaction of individual needs related to the use of environmental goods. Accordingly, the task of environmental policy is seen as supplying environmental goods for such uses that increase social welfare. From this allocation-theoretical perspective, it is not the minimization of environmental damage, but the realization of an optimal level of environmental protection with consideration of all advantages and disadvantages of environmental protection measures that represents the fundamental objective of an economically expedient environmental policy (Feess und Seeliger 2013, p. 1f.(1); Endres 2000, p. 26 ff.(2)). >Social Good. >Emission permits, >Emission reduction credits, >Emission targets, >Emissions, >Emissions trading, >Climate change, >Climate damage, >Energy policy, >Clean Energy Standards, >Climate data, >Climate history, >Climate justice, >Climate periods, >Climate targets, >Climate impact research, >Carbon price, >Carbon price coordination, >Carbon price strategies, >Carbon tax, >Carbon tax strategies. 1.
