dc.description.abstractSustainability is a big umbrella under which different objectives can be found, sometimes complementary but often conflicting. Do we envision sustainable development? Economic and/or of other kinds? Do we envision sustainable growth? Are there limits to growth? Might sustainability sometimes require degrowth? Do we envision sustainable opportunity? Recently, goals of sustainability have embraced the Anthropocene Epoch, with humans increasingly dominating and engineering their world. Unless humans seek their destiny entwined with sustaining their biosphere, there is no long term future for life, humans included.
