The Institute for Political Ecology (IPE; Croatian: Institut za političku ekologiju) is a think tank on ecology and sustainability based in Zagreb, Croatia. Established on 10 June 2014, the institute conducts interdisciplinary research on environmental policy.[1][2][3][4]
History
[edit]The IPE employs 21 team members, including junior researchers and fellows, an academic council, and a managing board directed by Vedran Horvat.[5]
According to the IPE's mission statement,[6] the institute's work on ecological economics has informed policy discussions through publications like Post-Growth Future(s): New Voices, Novel Visions.[7] Key projects include the development of sustainability indicators[3] and the Our Railways study on public transport democratization.[3] The IPE also co-published Post-Growth Future(s) with the Green European Foundation.[8]
The IPE's research focuses on ecological changes as drivers of social inequality[6] and thematic work on climate justice per its mission statement.[9] It organizes the Croatian Green Academy, a biannual event described as a regional platform for green political discourse,[3] held in the region since 2010.[10]
The IPE emphasizes degrowth as a core principle.[11] The IPE is a member of the International Degrowth Network,[12] where it engages in transnational advocacy and contributes acedemic support to the movement, notably through Federico Demaria's co-editorship of Degrowth: A Vocabulary for a New Era,[13][14] a text on post-growth transitions.
