What is the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC)? The theoretical relationship between environmental degradation and economic
development, suggesting that pollution increases at early stages of development,
reaches a turning point, and then decreases.
What is the significance of the EKC? It reframes the growth vs environmental impact debate, suggesting that economic
growth can lead to less pollution due to technology, regulations, and public
demand.
What are the issues with interpreting the EKC? Correlation does not imply causation; other factors like regulations and
technology can affect pollution levels, and not all pollutants follow the EKC.
What is the tragedy of the commons? When a resource is nonexcludable but rivalrous, leading to overuse and depletion.
How does poverty affect the incentive to conserve Short-term needs override long-term goals, leading to immediate resource
resources? harvesting over conservation.
What is sustainability? Meeting current needs while ensuring future generations' needs are met,
balancing environmental, economic, and social equity.
What is the strong form of sustainability? Preserving natural capital, which cannot be replaced by human-made capital.
What is the weak form of sustainability? Substituting natural capital with human-made capital, maintaining overall capital
stock.
