Resumen
After the Great Recession of 2008, there was a strong commitment from several international
institutions and forums to improve wellbeing economics, with a switch towards satisfaction and
sustainability in people–planet–profit relations. The initiative of the European Union is the Green
Deal, which is similar to the UN SGD agenda for Horizon 2030. It is the common political economy
plan for the Multiannual Financial Framework, 2021–2027. This project intends, at the same time, to
stop climate change and to promote the people’s wellness within healthy organizations and smart
cities with access to cheap and clean energy. However, there is a risk for the success of this aim: the
Jevons paradox. In this paper, we make a thorough revision of the literature on the Jevons Paradox,
which implies that energy efficiency leads to higher levels of consumption of energy and to a bigger
hazard of climate change and environmental degradation.
