«Facteur 5» is the essay by Ernst von Weizsäcker, Karlson Hargroves, Michael Smith, Cheryl Desha and Peter Stasinopoulos, published by De Boeck in paperback.
The book starts from today's major challenges (climate change, economic stagnation and resource scarcity) to argue that it is possible and profitable to multiply resource productivity by five using technologies already available in construction, industry, agriculture and transport. The first part offers concrete examples of this improvement; the second examines the political, economic and ethical implications, and the role of businesses, consumers and public authorities.
