Should economic growth continue in a world threatened by the prospect of catastrophic climate change? The scientific and public debate has brought forth a broad spectrum of views and narratives on this question, ranging from neoclassical economics to degrowth. We argue that different positions can be attributed to underlying differences in views on (a) factors that determine human well‐being, (b) the feasibility and desirability of economic growth, (c) appropriate intervention points, and (d) preferences about governance and policy options. For each of these dimensions, we propose points of agreement on which a consensus between conflicting positions might be achieved. From this basis, we distill a sustainability transition perspective that could act as a basis for a renewed debate on how to align human well‐being with environmental sustainability.

了解经济增长和气候政策的不同观点

在遭受灾难性气候变化威胁的世界中，经济增长是否应该继续？科学和公共辩论就这一问题提出了广泛的观点和叙述，从新古典经济学到堕落论。我们认为，不同的立场可以归因于以下方面的潜在差异：（a）决定人类福祉的因素；（b）经济增长的可行性和可取性；（c）适当的干预点；以及（d）对治理的偏好和政策选项。对于这些维度中的每一个，我们都提出了一些共识点，可以在这些立场上达成冲突立场之间的共识。在此基础上，我们提炼了可持续性转型的观点，可以作为关于如何使人类福祉与环境可持续性保持一致的新辩论的基础。
