Download or read book Environmental Innovation and Ecodesign written by Romain Debref and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The end of the post-war economic boom was marked by the recognition of the environmental problem with the oil crises of the 1970s and, in 1972, the first major UN conference devoted to the human environment. Successive international meetings have resulted in a context where technical change, innovation and industry have assumed a central place in the creation of a new model of society. Against this consensus, the author demonstrates from economic analysis and wide-ranging examples that the environmental innovation doctrine and ecodesign methods remain fragile and can lead to paradoxical results.
