The Importance of a Sustainable Future
Abstract
Globally, there is an acknowledgement that the inclusion of sustainability in our day-to-day operations is necessary. The United Nations has put forward the adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), many governments have agreed to them, and are putting in place actions to achieve the targets. However, the mantra of sustainable development has been challenged by various scholars, scientists and philosophers, and there is a need for change to move beyond it. This chapter investigates the concept of sustainability, questions our linear throughput system of an industrial society that still prevails in the twenty-first century, and puts forward an implementation of a new integral sustainable worldview . With regenerative systems thinking at its core, this chapter introduces the fundamental thinking of deep sustainability by Christopher Alexander (Sustainability and morphogenesis: The birth of a living world. Berkeley, CA: Centre for Environmental Structure, 2004), and progresses further with the Integral Sustainable Design theory by Mark DeKay (Integral sustainable design: Transformative perspectives. London/Washington, DC: Earthscan, 2011), where an integral approach to sustainability is found in the consideration of multilevel complexity, and the intersecting of the domains of self, culture, and Nature. The chapter concludes with the fundamental pattern I ntegral S ustainable W orldview [2], supporting an argument that we need to move beyond sustainable development, towards a regenerative-adaptive paradigm which will consider sustainable design practices and that fundamentally forms a new integral, sustainable worldview .
