The urgency of the Lancet Planetary Health–Earth Commission’s report and IPBES ...
Santos, Filipe Duarte; O´Riordan, Timothy; Rocha de Sousa, Miguel; Pedersen, Jiesper Strandsbjerg TristanThe Lancet Planetary Health–Earth Commission’s report proposes the translation of safe and just Earth-system boundaries across scales, transitions and transformations as being necessary to create a durable pathway to sustainability. Here we address the willingness and engagement of individual people to understand, feel the value, and implement the totality of its recommended transformations. We adopt an approac...
Game Theoretical Aspects Towards a Sustainable Path to Fight Climate Change
Rocha de Sousa, MiguelWe provide a new form of re-globalization tackling the aspects of climate change by addressing it through a theoretical approach rooted in game theory. A first holistic game of Berlin—between the individual and the group—is presented, grounded in Isaiah Berlin’s (Berlin (1961)) concepts of negative and positive liberty. Next, we generalize a non-cooperative game of climate change. Building on an evolutionary ga...
Ambiente e Mercado Voluntário Carbono: dilemas jurídico-económicos na transiçã...
Rocha de Sousa, Miguel; Goucha Soares, AntónioOs resultados do nosso estudo focar-se-ão: primeiro, no direito, instituições e economia do ponto de vista da exequibilidade político-económica no campo específico da energia em Portugal; segundo, num mercado de carbono novo, que é analisado do ponto de vista do quadro legal e da teoria económica; e, finalmente, terceiro, no modelo dinâmico de equilíbrio geral da economia portuguesa (DGEP) que nos dá o trade-of...

Climate policy beyond ideological trenches
Araújo, Miguel Bastos; Alagador, Diogo; Rocha de Sousa, MiguelThe climate crisis demands urgent and effective policy interventions, yet the discourse remains mired in ideological polarization. On one side, some argue that reducing consumption is the primary solution to the climate crisis, while others emphasize that technological innovation is the only viable option. We argue that a convergence of perspectives is needed and propose using the ecological footprint metric as...
The Six Critical Determinants That May Act as Human Sustainability Boundaries o...
Santos, Filipe; O’Riordan, Tim; Rocha de Sousa, Miguel; Pedersen, Jiesper Strandsbjerg TristanSignificant advances have been achieved in multilateral negotiations regarding human development and environmental safeguarding since the 1972 UN Stockholm Conference. There is much greater global awareness and action towards sustainability. However, sustainability has persistently been sidelined, leading to the identification and definition of a transgressed “safe and just space for humanity”. Here we develop ...

Unveiling global sustainability boundaries: exploring inner dimensions of human...
Santos, Filipe Duarte; O´Riordan, Timothy; Rocha de Sousa, Miguel; Pedersen, Jiesper Strandsbjerg TristanGreater global awareness and action to implement sustainable development are underway. However, global progress towards sustainability has been slow. Advancing towards some form of sustainability requires greater attention and analysis of the role played by the human inner world. While the scientific analytic tools have focused on external aspects, we present a scientific methodology to identify human critical ...
An OLG model approach to climate change with intergenerational concern and Game...
Rocha de Sousa, Miguel; Pica, AntónioUdalov 2014 extended a collective goods problem through an Overlapping Generations Model where there is a decision regarding the type of energy use either fossil fuel versus renewable use energy Udalov introduced a politico economic equilibrium contingent on the effort or commitment on renewable energy We provide his framework but further extended it, by using an eta parameter which provides intergenerational c...
Kant vs Nash: Solving the Global Commons Goods Problem
Rocha de Sousa, Miguel; Duarte, VanessaWe provide the notion of Kantian equilibrium versus Nash equilibrium, a try to recover the efficiency of Pareto allocations within public goods (global commons) and external effects (like pollution). Nash (1950a,b) provided the first solution to a non zero-sum non-cooperative game through a fixed point theorem. Nevertheless, market efficiency is not recovered when there are either externalities (like pollution,...
