2018 BOULDING AWARD
We are pleased to announce that the Boulding Award Committee, based on a thorough review of prior and recently identified potential candidates, has decided unanimously to award the 2018 Boulding Award to Inge Røpke, in recognition of her long-term efforts on behalf of ISEE and ESEE, as well as her contributions to the field and to our journal Ecological Economics.
This award also recognizes her decisive history of ISEE and the ecological economics movement published in Ecological Economics, as well as her more recent work on planning for sustainable transitions with a particular emphasis on the essential role of financial institutions and the banking system, issues which are decisive in recent thinking in ecological economics.
The Award Committee was unanimous that Inge Røpke brings to the Boulding Award a sweeping heterodox perspective on the potential for a transition to sustainable husbandry of our shared resources, very much in keeping with Kenneth Boulding’s “spaceship Earth” philosophy.
Inge will proffer the Boulding Award Address at the 2018 Conference in Puebla, Mexico.
