Sustainability and Equity from a Scientific Vantage Point

This presentation will discuss sustainability and equity from a scientific vantage point, exploring how a physical, systemic perspective of energy flows informs ideas of resource allocation. What, specifically, are the constraints on “sustainable growth,” and what are the implications for how present and future civilizations share what we have? The best outcomes for any members of society, wealthy or poor, will be attainable only by way of a sober and realistic view of sustainability.
