Competing ecopolitical projects seek to deliver answers to one of the most central questions of our time: how can the escalating climate crisis be halted? The paper asks how we may meaningfully compare ecopolitical projects that originate in fundamentally different conceptions of the type of change necessary to reach a sustainable organization of society? Using Peter Hall's paradigm approach as a starting point, the paper employs extant political economy scholarship to develop a framework that sets out four key dimensions that work as points of comparison between ecopolitical projects. The framework is applied in a comparison of the competing ecopolitical projects of green growth and degrowth to elucidate the ways in which these projects differ profoundly in terms of the extensiveness of change they envision, the actors they consider pivotal for sustainability transitions, their scientific basis and their distributional consequences.

竞争激烈的生态政治项目试图为我们时代最核心的问题之一提供答案：如何制止不断升级的气候危机？本文提出了一个问题，我们如何才能有意义地比较源自根本不同概念的生态政治项目，这些概念对于实现可持续的社会组织而言必不可少？本文以彼得·霍尔（Peter Hall）的范式方法为起点，利用现有的政治经济学奖学金来开发一个框架，该框架列出了四个关键维度，这些维度可以作为生态政治项目之间的比较点。该框架适用于绿色增长和衰退的竞争性生态政治项目的比较，以阐明这些项目所设想的变化的广泛性方面的深刻差异，
