Extractive Economies and Ecological Debt

SUMMARY - Extractive Economies and Ecological Debt

The global economy runs on extracted materials—oil from wells, minerals from mines, timber from forests, fish from oceans. This extraction is not evenly distributed. Resources flow from some regions to others, often leaving environmental damage behind while benefits accumulate elsewhere. This pattern of extraction and its ecological consequences raises questions about who benefits, who pays, and what is owed for environmental debts accumulated over generations.
