Fear economic is good idea rezim economis is discussion making @Dariusz Prokopowicz
Greatings,
Hefri Yodiansyah,-
By far the largest problem is that most researchers think it is possible to pursue ecological sustainability and economic development simultaneously . A growing number of researchers, including myself and all those associated with the degrowth movement, disagree.
Governance including policies, laws and leadership.... Poverty and Economic development
Dear Dariusz Prokopowicz ,good question: there are large companies that only pursue economic benefits without regard to environmental changes and the negative impacts that arise, examples of plastic waste that is very damaging to ecosystems and the environment. in Indonesia this condition is getting worse, but the government is trying to fight against plastic waste. then the forest encroachment is really crazy. damaging the natural environment, need decisive action from the government to stop it, and awareness of individuals and companies to find solutions to the damage. Regards.
The scale of the economy impedes the latter to achieve some level of sustainability. E.F. Schumacher's book: "Small is beautiful" offered inspiration in the early '70s (during the very first energy crises) to design and maintain, small, more local economies. However, the prevailing global economy paradigm dismissed from main culture E.F. Schumacher's thinking.
With the increasing pressures on the environment as a result of the various commitments and activities that serve the economy, especially in the major industrial countries ... The concept of the green economy is emerging, which means achieving growth and sustainable development without disturbing the environmental system as well as providing aid and grants to poor countries to promote education, health and infrastructure. In development.
Lack of share the good ecofriendly practices, lack of knowledge in contrast with full access to the info nowadays
In view of the above, it is also important to include in the above discussion also the following issue:
Has the classic economy lost its relevance for the energy market?
Has the classic economy lost its relevance to the energy market and therefore whether the process of necessary proecological reforms in the energy sector involving the replacement of energy sources, ie classic energy sources based on burning minerals for renewable energy sources should be coordinated by the state as a pro-environmental interventionist anti-crisis state?
Still at the end of the 21th century, in many publications written in the convention of classical economics, theses were formulated that energy should be shaped by the mechanism of market-harmonizing sides of demand and supply. However, this philosophy concerned classic energy based on the combustion of minerals. Mineral energy deposits in certain parts of the world are determined for several decades of extraction.
If the development of mining technology allows to reach and extract energy from deeper deposits than currently exploited and decks located under the sea and ocean bottoms, such estimated deposits would allow mining of these deposits in some places of the world for much longer than 100 years. However, humanity can not wait so much for pro-ecological reforms in the energy sector and the slow process of switching to renewable energy sources, which is happening in some countries, including the largest economies in the world, the largest emitters of greenhouse gases.
Currently, the philosophy of the energy sector is starting to change. Now the obvious issue is the need to quickly implement pro-ecological reforms without contemplating the depleted energy resources of the Earth's crust. This wait could take about 100 years or more than 100 years in many countries and this is too long, because at the end of the 21st century, according to climate change analysis, drastic climatic catastrophes will occur due to the predicted acceleration of the global warming process in the following decades.
According to the published and presented results of climatologists' research during the recent UN Climate Summits and Conferences on the problem of progressing global warming process, unless by 2030 at the latest the world will not show the classic energy based on the burning of minerals for renewable energy sources and motorization for electromobility and there will be no appropriate improvement of segregation waste and recycling, by the end of the 21st century, the average temperature at the Earth's surface will increase by 3-4 degrees Celsius globally, and the scale of climate cataclysms and weather anomalies will increase many times in relation to the current state.
In view of the above, the world can no longer wait for the depletion of energy minerals. This issue, which is particularly important for humanity and life on Earth, can not be left to the market mechanism and classical economy, whose philosophy has long been undermined, already in the period of the Great Depression of 1929-1934 it was demonstrated that Keynsovian state interventionism is needed to bring the economy out of the deep economic crisis if the liberalized private sector led to a crisis and the economy quickly does not return itself to balance and high economic growth on the basis of self-acting market mechanisms.
We currently have a similar situation. The world inevitably aims at increasing climatic cataclysms caused by the accelerating global warming process. these unfavorable processes for humanity and life on Earth will become a source of intensification of migration of people from subtropical areas, on which it will be impossible to live and live in a few dozen years due to high temperatures and droughts. In addition, there will be economic crises resulting from the global warming process. Humanity has no time to put off the necessary pro-ecological reforms for the future, these pro-ecological reforms in the energy sector need to be implemented now and it should be a process coordinated by the state in the context of pro-environmental anti-crisis state interference.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?
In view of the above, I am asking you the following question:

The above discussion inspired me to the following considerations:
How can you speed up the processes of changing the classic economy in green economy?
How can you speed up the processes of changing the classical economy in green economy shaped according to the principles of sustainable pro-ecological economic development?
From time to time, conferences and climates summit are held in various countries around the world. In principle, everyone agrees on the importance of implementing the necessary pro-ecological reforms in economic processes. In addition to representatives of mining companies of energy resources for the traditional energy of burning mineral and traditional power plants, everyone agrees that in order to slow down the global warming processes that are unfavorable for the natural environment, it is necessary to implement pro-ecological reforms as soon as possible. above all, to develop renewable energy sources on a larger scale. In addition, pro-ecological innovations on an industrial scale should be implemented as soon as possible.
Recently, this type of climatic summit took place in Katowice in Poland. It was the UN climate summit, the so-called COP (Conference of the Parties) on climate policy on Earth. UN climate summits, i.e. COP (Conference of the Parties) are global conferences during which climate policy is negotiated. Poland twice hosted them - in 2008 in Poznań and in 2013 in Warsaw. In December 2018, the climate summit is held for the first time now in Katowice in Poland. During this summit, conferences were held, discussions on the need to develop a sustainable development policy and the need for ecological development, renewable energy sources to generate a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in the future, and ultimately to limit the average annual temperature on the Earth's surface.
From the discussions it follows that it is necessary to develop ecological innovations, new pro-ecological energy sources, and to develop the electromobility of transport means. It is necessary to develop and implement on a large scale renewable energy sources. In addition, it is important to increase the scale of afforestation, as forests and the flora contained in them absorb a large proportion of greenhouse gas emissions.
As part of the UN climate summit of December 2018, the following were held: the 24th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP24), 14th Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol (CMP 14) and the Conference of the Paris Agreement signatories (CMA 1). About 20,000 people from 190 countries took part in the event, including politicians, representatives of non-governmental organizations, and scientific and business spheres.
The lecture delivered during the climatic summit shows that in recent years the warming of the Earth's climate has accelerated significantly and therefore, in the black scenario of future climate changes, the temperature on the Earth's surface can rise by 4 ° C to the end of the 21st century. If this happened, then the scale of climate-related cataclysms that are dangerous to human beings will increase many times, including droughts, floods, fires and weather anomalies in many places around the world. The problem is very serious globally and therefore a lot depends on whether international cooperation will develop in order to limit these problems and their negative effects.
In view of the above, it is necessary to change the development strategy based on intensifying the exploitation of the Earth's resources on the sustainable development strategy. It is necessary to develop new energy technologies based on renewable energy sources to slow down the progressing greenhouse effect of the Earth in order to reduce the risk of dramatic natural cataclysms. It is necessary to develop ecological innovations, while it may not be too late. It is necessary to save the Earth from destruction for future generations.
The 21st century is the last moment to introduce global sustainable development based on the development of renewable energy and ecological innovations. Sustainable development should be analyzed and measured in correlation with the analysis of economic growth and the share of individual sectors in the country's economic development, including the transformation of traditional energy sources into renewable energy, environmental reclamation and recovery of recyclable materials, and ecological innovations.
Unfortunately, perhaps the only major positive effect of these conferences and climate summits is the promotion of the need to apply these pro-ecological reforms in the media. However, the scale of real actions in this direction, the scale of expenditure growth supported by subsidies from state budgets for the development of energy based on renewable energy sources, the development of electromobility, improvement of sorting and recycling processes is still small in relation to the needs.
Do you agree with my opinion on this matter?

Greatings,
Hefri Yodiansyah,-
Supporting an education that fosters creativity and innovation, sustained by imagining the world in the near future is (in my opinion) a major barrier to sustainable economies. In other words, investing in the power of human intellect is what is needed most to move forward effectively, in the pursuit of sustainability, equity and quality of life for all.
In view of the above, it is also important to include in the above discussion also the following issue:
Is lack of knowledge about the high level of significance of the necessary implementation of the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development into the economic processes can be considered one of the key barriers to this development?
Please reply
Yes! lack of knowledge about the high level of significance of the necessary implementation of the principles of sustainable pro-ecological development into the economic processes IS one of the key barriers to sustainable development. To this I would add also that an extractive economy (as the present one), sustained by obsolete capitalist economic principles is even a bigger barrier to a sustainable, pro-ecological development. An ecological, sustainable development implies and understanding the we all live on a finite planet. Only some resources are (or can be renewable) and therefore the use of these should be managed with great care. Also the distribution of resources is unequal and the inequalities between the rich and the poor is widening more and more (as unfortunately it has always been in human history). The difference of present times is that there are more billions of people populating the Earth and with the rate of population growth (adding approximately 1 billion every 10-12 years), we need to enact quickly a sound plan for the near future. In my opinion the stabilization of the human population size and the restoration/rehabilitation of degraded environment are 2 focal points upon which the new economy for the 21st century (and beyond) should be based.
Desertification.
Soil exploitation and overbuilding.
Food waste.
Loss of biodiversity.
Pollution.
Populist government supporting neoliberal economies, so that wealth is enriching the oligarchy in power are also socioeconomic barriers that impede a sustainable development.
I think convincing people from industries is the major barrier. Most of them want immediate benefit from any technology
