Decoupling, natural resource use and environmental impacts from economic growth

The objective of this study is to provide a solid foundation for the concept of decoupling, clearly defining key terms and concepts and indicating its many applications to resource management. It assesses whether decoupling is already taking place, and identifies the driving factors, both technological and economic. This report aims to also provide some indications of the kinds of policy measures and considerations that may be needed to stimulate decoupling. The word “Resources” usually refers to materials, water, energy and land. This report focuses on material resources, namely fossil fuels, minerals, metals and biomass. As such, it is not the intention of the International Resource Panel (IRP) to cover all resources in a single report, rather this report will be complemented by concurrent reports of the IRP on land and soil, water, metals and other topics.
