In 2012 Rio + 20 conference(UNCSD) we were going to go green markets, green growth and green economies, which means we were going to go the way of environmental pollution reduction markets, but we know today that we did not go that way.
We chose to go the way of a patch through environmental pollution management markets instead of going for the fix, green markets, knowing or perhaps failing to know that in environmental pollution management markets the root cause of the pollution production problem is still not fixed.
No wonder, the environmental situation now is worse than it was in 2012, which raises the question: Will the period 2012 to now and perhaps into the foreseeable future be known in the history of economic thought as the green market paradigm shift avoidance period?
What do you think?
