The most intractable challenges of the 21st century will be driven by human impact on the natural systems of the planet which determine the character and quality of our lives.
Over the course of this century, human society will become more sustainable, but not necessarily more desirable. We have the opportunity to choose a future that is sustainable and just, as opposed to one of conflict, inequity and scarcity.
The challenges we face are fundamentally different from those that our dominant institutions and policy processes evolved to address.
They are complex, with uncertainties at every level of analysis. They are insidious, difficult to detect or understand in early stages, yet capable of massive impacts in apparently short periods of time. They will be expensive to address, even in the early stages when the costs of mitigation or avoidance will be most difficult to justify economically and politically.
Our policy-making institutions are strategically inept, designed to allocate benefits, not scarcity, fragmented in responsibility and authority, and dominated by narrow interests, the influence of which reflects the past, not the future.
Moreover, they embody the implicit assumption that we can ignore the world's natural systems and growing inequities of human quality of life with impunity.
Sustainable policies must be firmly grounded in the realization that humans are inextricably embedded in nature.
As every farmer knows, there are limits on our behavior and consequences for exceeding these. While the purpose of government remains to enable the wellbeing of citizens, there are principles which must assume new prominence if that goal is to be attained. Simply put, we must behave prudently, empower the market, and accept responsibilities for our actions and inactions.
Of these, prudence is the first among equals. We must regard the future as a new form of "global commons." It belongs to all equally; it is not the province of any nation, or of special interests which happen to be dominant today.
the present is but an inheritance from the past that belongs -- morally and legally -- to future generations as much as to the present. Governance must base policies in the "precautionary principle," as found in various forms in international soft law, in broad form in the domestic legislation of many countries, and enshrined in common sense -- look before you leap.
A fair, transparent and global market, free of protectionism, where all costs of products and services -- including environmental impacts which are transgenerational -- are included in prices, is a necessary tool for the transition to sustainability.
Governments should set clear performance goals and standards, and refrain from practices that artificially choose winners and losers.
A modest first step is for governments to refuse to subsidize the costs of waste and risk management. Nuclear power, for example, is unlikely to compete effectively with renewable energy if the costs of environmental impacts or risk management are included in the price of energy to the consumer.
Public policy must also demand and enforce a culture of responsibility. The right to private property, the drive for private profit, and the sovereignty of the state do not justify ecologically destructive behavior, and legal systems must protect all interests.
There are early -- and fragile -- signs of the emergence of these principles. The Climate Convention, with the Kyoto Protocol, recognizes the need for responsible action on a transnational basis, as well as the power of the market. There is recognition of the effective limits of sovereignty in the creation of the European Union -- the most significant development of the 20th century -- and the World Trade Organization.
Transition to societies that are sustainable and just will require rare courage and wisdom, but the consequences of inaction are undeniable. The good news, and the bad news, is that our children will live in the future we choose
