Article Synopsis
- Higher economic activity usually means more energy use and natural resource consumption, which leads to more greenhouse gas emissions and climate change.
- The Jevons Paradox suggests that when we use resources more efficiently, we can end up using even more of them instead.
- This study created a computer model to explore how different strategies can increase efficiency but warns that without reducing demand, we might face unsustainable development and more environmental problems.
