Peter Victor

Peter Victor is an emeritus professor at the University of York and a prominent advocate for post-growth economics. His work challenges the traditional notions of economic growth and argues for a more sustainable approach that prioritizes ecological limits and social well-being. Recently, he was in the news for his critical views on the concept of decoupling economic growth from carbon emissions, emphasizing that it's the accumulated stock of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that drives climate change, rather than just annual emissions.
