A just and sustainable society - the way forward through just transitions

International Sustainable Development Research Conference, Stellenbosch, South Africa, July 2013

On issues of social injustice "if you're not outraged, you're not paying attention".

Right action needs right thinking ......

As Swilling and Annecke (2009) put it ...

“…there should be little doubt that imagining and implementing more sustainable futures is the greatest challenge that our generation faces. To do this we not only need new ways of thinking, but we need to understand the history of patterns of thinking that fail to appreciate the evolutionary significance of our incontrovertible dependence on other living species and nature in general".
