Development as multidimensional environmental impoverishment
指出经济增长常伴随环境贫困化，导致人们失去土地、清洁水等基本需求，从而削弱选择有价值生活的能力，并建议用生态分配冲突中的多维价值补充贫困指数。
• Eradicating poverty across the world should start by stopping (environmental) impoverishment. • Development-related environmental degradation can be linked to impoverishment in terms of loss of freedom and capabilities. • Global indices assessing multidimensional poverty underreport environmental degradation and related impoverishment. • Claims in ecological distribution conflicts display multidimensional values that should supplement poverty indices. Poverty is multidimensional. Economic growth often implies environmental impoverishment and hence diminished options to choose valuable lives. People who are deprived of access to land, clean water and air because of extractive industries or as victims of waste disposal, often complain accordingly. They have lost freedom of choice regardless possible income increases, if they get them at all. We illustrate this with examples of ecological distribution conflicts collected in the EJAtlas. If you get some extra money but lose access to land, water and clean air because extractive industries grab your place and pollute your family, you are poorer in some dimensions than before, and poverty estimates need to take this into account.
