Title Shaping a design for the green economy
Year 2021
Published
Abstract This article seeks to raise foundations for the construction of a Design oriented by the green economy, as a way to foster the transition to sustainability. The concept of green economy has been legitimized as an economy in which growth is dissociated from the environment exploitation, while enabling its regeneration, reducing environmental risks, improving human welfare and social cohesion. Although unlimited economic growth generates negative impacts on the economy itself and on the other two dimensions of sustainability, the environmental and the social, it is understood that growth based on the green economy is relevant in contexts in which greater employability and increase in income generation are required, as well as improvement in the management of natural resources, among other related issues. Thus, the authors consider that a Design for the green economy may propose systemic solutions that contribute to the solution of this type of problem, gradually and in the long term. Therefore, it is aimed to carry out a theoretical review that contemplates this economic proposal and the concepts derived from it, in order to identify approaches and strategies related to Design. As a result, the study contextualises the legitimation of the green economy and investigates the productive order prescriptions of the creative, circular, shared, collaborative, distributed and fair trade economy. In this way, the strategies of dematerialisation, maintenance and repair, as well as industrial symbiosis and the approaches of creating sustainable product plus service system and of intellectual and/or cultural valorisation are identified.
