Co-Designing a New and Better Global Systems Accounting for Pollution

Description

This working webinar discussed how to account for pollution of various kinds. The webinar is to support the efforts by ebbf (Ethical Business Building the Future) to carry forward Arthur Dahl’s proposals in his paper: Global Systems Accounting: Beyond Economics https://www.iefworld.org/ddahl_accounting

Nine other ebbf working groups have already started to develop ideas in specific areas such as Carbon Accounting, Biodiversity, Poverty/Wealth, Health, Food, Work, Knowledge and Spiritual Capital. See https://www.ebbf.org/global-systems-accounting

The participants were encouraged to read at least the introduction of Arthur’s paper as well as the section about Pollution Accounts before the meeting.

Arthur Dahl’s webinar presentation on 8 December 2021 for ebbf (40 minutes) would also be helpful for participants to get an understanding of the subject matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWUFwHH0uX0
