Jevons Paradox and GHGs.
The Jevons Paradox states that, in the long term, an increase in efficiency in resource use will generate an increase in resource consumption rather than a decrease.
From this paper: Unraveling the Complexity of the Jevons Paradox: The Link Between Innovation, Efficiency, and Sustainability
when studying evolution and real change how can we define “what has to be sustained” in a system that continuously becomes something else?
and
The co-existence of these two principles explains why in different situations innovation has to play a different role in the “sustainable development” of society: (i) when society is not subject to external biophysical constraints improvements in efficiency serve to increase the final consumption of society and expand its diversity of functions and structures; (ii) when the expansion of society is limited by external constraints improvements in efficiency should be used to avoid as much as possible the loss of the existing diversity. It is concluded that sustainability cannot be achieved by technological innovations alone, but requires a continuous process of institutional and behavioral adjustment.
The complexity of GWP assessments, coupled with the breadth of diverse agroecosystems globally, suggests the likelihood of there being vastly different approaches to estimate this important metric. At a time when climate regulation services from agriculture are generating significant interest (Croft et al., 2021), GWP values reported in the literature are likely to come under greater scrutiny by stakeholders and scientists (Leahy et al., 2020).
