environmental dimension

• FPO

  • Define: involves acknowledging the limits of the Earth’s physical resources and improving their utilisation to prevent depletion beyond the capacity for replenishment
  • Elaboration: Anthropocentric perspectives often prioritise economic growth over environmental sustainability. There are challenges to balancing short-term wants and long-term needs
• Example

  • Example: Energiewende, Germany
  • Overview: Energiewende is Germany’s ambitious policy aimed at transitioning from fossil fuels and nuclear energy to renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar
  • Improve Economic Development: the transition to renewable energy has created hundreds of thousands of jobs in the green energy sector. Jobs in areas like wind turbine manufacturing, solar panel installation, and energy inefficiency have provided new employment opportunities, especially in regions affected by the decline of traditional industries
