SUSTAINABILITY
development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the needs of future generations
Currently, the prevailing definition of sustainability emphasizes cross-generational equity,
which is clearly an important concept, but which poses difficulties, since future generations’
needs are not easy to define or determine. Anchoring an alternative definition to the
relationship between a population and the carrying capacity of its environment offers
superior operational leverage, as it contains a number of key variables, all potentially
measurable: population size, rate of resource consumption, impacts on the absorption
capacity of sinks, a measure of well-being, and the like.
requires a fundamental shift in consciousness as well as action
