Kristín Vala Ragnarsdóttir and Ásgeir Brynjar Torfason bring together their interdisciplinary expertise in economics and natural sciences to rethink the unsustainable and resource-driven global economy. With an emphasis on inequalities, the authors highlight the need for a regenerative economy to achieve sustainability for the long-term wellbeing of our planet and its inhabitants.The authors present fresh insights into creating a regenerative economy to address the impact of the economy of destruction, covering ecological crises, biodiversity loss and climate change. The book draws on international cases, particularly in leadership and science, moving the discussion from abstract critique to tangible policy relevance. Chapters forge new pathways for crafting a regenerative economy that focuses on wellbeing, incorporating new leadership, and the role of women and feminist perspectives. The authors underscore the importance of how integrating planetary boundaries into economic policy is critical for economists and policy analysts to assess trade-offs and sustainability solutions in the current world crisis.

The Elgar Companion to Creating a Regenerative Economy for Wellbeing is a crucial resource for students and scholars of sustainability, environmental economics, development studies and business and management. Policymakers, advocacy groups and international institutions will also benefit from the book’s new thinking on the sustainable economy and actionable policy insights.
