Environmental accounting: In communicating reality, do we construct reality?

Author

  • Tweedie, Jonathan

Abstract

This paper acts as a counterweight to the recent swell of optimism among some accounting scholars about how the performative potential of environmental accounting might be harnessed to address the planetary crisis. Mimicking the style of Ruth Hines’ seminal contribution, ‘Financial accounting: In communicating reality, we construct reality’ (1988), the paper questions whether environmental accounting can play the transformational role that many envisage for it.
