terms of a corresponding productive land

area.

Standard for sustainability: achieving the

environmental efficiency that allows us to

live within the earthā€™s carrying capacity

Why does society play the central

role?

Environmental equity is the core of sustainable

development

  • Resource allocation
  • Responsibility and action
  • Mobilization for change

Why does society play the central

role?

  • Society shapes quantitative and qualitative demand on
environment
  • Directly through consumption and indirectly through
influence on technology, economy, and politics
  • Business has to respond and adapt its influence

Society Outline

Dilemmas

  • Overshoot and social trajectories
  • Explaining consumption

Responses

  • Social Movements
  • Community

Social Trajectories and Environment

We want to understand what forms of social interaction compel
society to damage the environment and how it they can be
changed.
  • Growth
  • Values
  • Feedback
    • Positive
    • Negative

The

consequences of

overshoot:

collapse

Other Examples of Overshoot:

The ozone layer

Global warming

The sixth extinction

Ocean fisheries

Desertification

Population

The Social Construction of

Overshoot

The IPAT Equation

IMPACT = POPULATION x

AFFLUENCE x TECHNOLOGY
