Abstract

On Ecological Sustainability: A Critical Perspective

- I think we would not be wrong if we say that the concept of sustainability is one of the most popular topics of the last half century. Of course, there are some historical and social reasons for its popularity. Conceptually, sustainability can be defined as the process of re-stabilization or restoration of an activity whose continuity has been jeopardized. The concept of sustainability has come to the forefront especially as the ecosystem faces irreversible risks due to global warming and climate change. Undoubtedly, failure to ensure the continuity of a habitable biosphere will bring vital problems for humans and nature.
