Abstract
Present development patterns raise questions about their sustainability. We see environmental degradation and ecological destruction all around us. The global commons are being overloaded. The ozone layer hole, the climate change threat, the pollution of oceans and the extinction of many species are facts we cannot ignore. With increasing population and growing prosperity, the present development patterns will further stress our environment. These patterns seem to be environmentally unsustainable.
