“In the first half of the 21st century, the human population and power to influence Earth’s climate and biology are expected to surge before eventually stabilizing. For several decades, scientists, economists, and other experts have been trying to design strategies for meshing human activities with the limits of planet and the needs of future generations. This concept, called sustainable development or sustainability by some, has become a goal of the United Nations, World Bank and a growing list of corporations.”
