Ecological health will always suffer in a model that demands eternal growth. Not specifically, but where moneyed interests are faced with finding avenues for growth, any option will be exploited based solely on its ability to generate profit. So, any avenue that is not directly in opposition to that goal is fair game. Instead of implementing measures to protect ecological interests, a make-believe version is in place where the barriers to profiting at the expense of the environment are low enough to be costed and included on balance sheets as an expense that barely dents the bottom line. Until the unholy relationship between the political capital of lobbyists and the political power of governments is closely regulated and bounded by measures that are actively enforced, no real progress will be made, and that means global measures, or else the cancer of eternal profit will just shift away from countries that are willing to respect and enforce the guidelines.
Basically, not going to happen,. So every new product that purports to be ecologically friendly, like Teslas, will have to be regarded with suspicion until they are proven to be effective, and not a back door profit stream for big oil, mining, and every other environmentally costly industry looking for shareholder value.
