ResumoThe political will to achieve ‘sustainable development’ is not, of course, the ultimate solution to all our environmental problems . This is more obvious now than it was ten years ago, when the concept was first introduced as an issue in science and politics . Even then it was clear that the concept had been constructed primarily as a work-in-progress attempt to take account of equivalent, but different, human goals when making decisions on steering developments . In other words, economic, social, cultural, and ecological goals must be coordinated as closely as possible, to satisfy the needs of both present and future generations (World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED, 1987).
