Tragödie der Allmende

Tragedy of the commons: depletion of a shared resource by multiple individuals, acting independently and rationally according to their self-interest, leading to collective undesirable outcomes because depleting the common resource is contrary to the group's long-term interests.

Thomas Malthus (1789) An Essay on the Principle of Population:expected population break down due to famine and disease (Malthusian catastrophe).

William Forster Lloyd (1833): hypothetical situation of herders sharing common land to let cows graze. Each cow gives additional benefits until overgrazing damages the common land for all. Individually rational economic decision results in collective destruction of the environmental commons.

Garrett Hardin (1968) "The Tragedy of the Commons", (Science)social dilemma of human population growth, the use of the Earth's natural resources, and the welfare state

Elinor Ostrom (1999): tragedy of the commons not prevalent or difficult to solve, since locals often have found cooperative solutions to the commons problem.

Alternative ökonomische und ökologische Indikatoren

Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI): measure that provides a better analysis of economic progress by subtracting out pollution and resource degradation, crime, and other economic ills while adding in unmeasured benefits like volunteer work and parenting.

Ecological footprint: measure of human demand on the Earth's ecosystems. It compares human demand with planet Earth's ecological capacity to regenerate. It represents the amount of biologically productive land and sea area needed to regenerate consumed resources and to absorb the waste.

Note: Drylands are defined by the long-term mean of the ratio of annual precipitation to potential evapotranspiration. Drylands include hyperarid areas, while the definition of

desertification relates to arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid areas only (excluding hyperarid), sometimes also referred to as “susceptible drylands.”Source: UNEP 1992

On the Influence of Carbon Acid in the Air upon the Temperature on the Ground

Svante ArrheniusPhilosophical Magazine and Journal of Science

Series 5 – Volume 41 (4/1896): 237-276 Arrhenius’s paper is the first to quantify the contribution of carbon dioxide to the green-house effect and to speculate about whether variations in the atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide have contributed to long-term variations in climate. Arrhenius refers

to carbon dioxide as “carbonic acid” in accordance with the convention at the time

he was writing.Arrhenius does not explicitly suggest in this

paper that the burning of fossil fuels will cause global warming, though it is clear that he is aware that fossil fuels are a potentially signifi-cant source of carbon dioxide, and he does explicitly suggest this outcome in

later work.
