Limits to Growth and Achievement of Global Sustainability
Journal Title: Philosophy and Cosmology - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue
Abstract
In the work notes that the preservation of the planet’s biosphere and its ecosystems (especially mountain) is one of the main goals of the transition to such a global process as sustainable development. Moreover, not only the goal, but also with the condition of its realization, is the natural foundation on which sustainable development should be realized as a successively unfolding new socio-natural process. The concept of planetary boundaries is discussed, which concretizes the concept of “the carrying capacity of the biosphere” and defines “a safe working space for humanity”, that allows it to survive and further develop progressively. The concept of planetary boundaries establishes a corridor of global environmental security, within which the biosphere is minimally destroyed by anthropogenic activities
