On the Economic Development Pattern under “Dark Green” Concept

The “dark green” concept is the theme of the second environmental movement since the 1990s, and calls for integrative thinking of environment and development. Based on this concept, discussing the economic development should follow the following directions and principles: the economic development under “dark green” concept should adhere to ecological justice and ecological rights; the economic production mode under “deep green” concept should be nonlinear circulation of materials; shifting of technological ecology in economic development; establishing ecological civilization policies based on containing models; moving toward nonmaterialized economy from the materialized economy. These directions and principles constitute the economic development pattern under “dark green” concept.
