ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY There is agreement that theory must match the practice to achieve
consistency, yet there is not a well accepted environmental sustainability
theory to deal with environmental sustainability failures. Due to this,
non-system thinking is being used to address systematic problems. In my
opinion, this inconsistency between additive theory and systematic practice
must be eliminated. In other words, how can we expect to solve systematic
problems using non-system based theoretical tools? As it can be seen on the figure, there can be environmental sustainability. However, for environmental sustainability to exist, we must assume either that social and economic sustainability exist at the same time or that the society and the economy are passive components of the system ready available for the sole purpose of fulfilling environmental goals. The above provides a different way of looking at environmental development issues. The work presented or expected in this section deals with environmental sustainability theory and issues and ideas on how to develop practical applications. The work is divided in four categories: a) published work; b) work being evaluated/reviewed or on the way to publication; c) draft work available for evaluation/revision; and d) work in progress or planned. Links to servers where published work is available as well as abstracts are provided when possible.

development can take place under
social and economic constraints, but
only if those constraints are fully
binding and enforceable.
