Sustainability 3.01: eco-link economy, a new model of sustainable growth
Léo Dayan will be animating the final conference of Inéov, during which he will bring an innovative vision of tomorrow's economy to find the balance between ecological needs, human development and economic growth. His lecture, entitled "Sustainability 3.0: The economy of links, a new sustainable growth model" will allow the listeners to discover the key concepts of the eco-link economy.Summary by Léo Dayan:
"If we start considering the waste from one activity as a resource for another, by only producing goods that be reusable on a local level and bringing supply zones and de-supply zones closer, then the eco-link economy will form eco network territories and territorial eco-networks, set the global economic cycle going, produces goods born out of human intelligence, cooperation and local jobs, and transform products into local services.
The establishment of these local ecosystems, which separates the increased financial flows from the increased material flow, preemptively protects nature and human health. Since this approach puts emphasis on the information quality and productivity of natural resources rather than work, it requires tax exemption on employment, eco-unsustainable capital tax and taxation of imports of polluting goods. Such taxation increases employment and purchasing power measured in sustainable services, balances the social accounts and ensures an overall price stability. It gives meaning and direction to free trade, that is liberating entrepreneurial innovative energies, setting the economy free from polluting goods, meeting the needs of economic ecosystems and providing a funding source to global sustainability."
