The Environment: Towards a Sustainable Future

Part of the book series: Environment & Policy ((ENPO,volume 1))

Abstract

“Technology will not save us, neither during the NMP period nor in the long term.” (...) “An essential feature of the committee’s opinion is that it is convinced of the need for radical changes in all sectors of social life: economy, culture, social structure, technology, agriculture, industry, traffic and transport, consumption, etc.” (CLTM, 1991, p. 37)
