Hinweis der Redaktion
Opening Sustainability has been a hot topic for 20 years ever since the publication of the UN Broderbund Commission with its definition of sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (WCED, 1990) This definition assumed the continued growth of a fossil fuel based economy. For 20 years we have talked about sustainability as we did more and more damage to the planet. But the human situation is moving from concern to desperation and we can no longer talk about going green and being more sustainable as our day to day actions brings us closer and closer to a catastrophe. The 200 year energy intensive pollution generating industrial period has reached its peak and we will return to a time and a way of living that I associated with the words home and community. The planet cannot support the continued transformation of buried carbon to the atmosphere and oceans by fossil fuel burning. We are reaching a watershed moment in human history. For two centuries we slowly mechanized the world and for 60 years rapidly mechanized it. That period is near its end.
