Abstract
Duurzaamheid gaat over de vraag of de huidige
ontwikkeling van de wereld kan worden voortgezet. Het antwoord is
afhankelijk van maatschappelijke opvattingen over de kwaliteit van leven en
de verdeling ervan over de wereld en van wetenschappelijke inzichten in het
functioneren van het maatschappelijk en het natuurlijk
systeem.
The quest for sustainability is about the quality of life and the possibilities for maintaining this quality in the future. The extent to which this quest is fulfilled will depend both on the public opinion with respect to the desired quality of life and the distribution of this quality of life across the globe (reflected in four world views), and the scientific understanding of the functioning of humans and natural systems. The intention of this sustainability outlook then is to contribute to an ensuing public debate on the sustainability issue, through analysis of societal values and scientific insights.
