The End of Sustainability synopsis

It is time for us to rethink collectively, and in the end the concept of sustainability has been surpassed in the law and management of environmental and natural resources. Sustainability of sustainability in political debates ignores the emerging reality of Anthropocene culture, which creates a world of extreme complexity, radical ambiguity and unprecedented change.

From a legal and political perspective, we must face the impossibility of even identifying - let alone pursuing the goal of "sustainability" in such a world. Melinda Harmon Benson and Robin Condes Craig suggest flexibility as a more realistic and viable community approach to the governance environment.

US environmental and natural resource laws date back to the early 1970s, when the consistent "equilibrium of nature" model was a popular model, a model long rejected by environmentalists, even before the addition of climate change complications. In the era of Anthropocene, it is a new era in which humans are the primary factor of change on this planet.

These laws (and American culture in general) need to embrace new accounts of complex ecosystems and the role of humans as part of the narrative narratives of fraudulent culture and the theory of flexibility. The modernization of Aldo Leopold's vision of nature and humanity as one society of Anthropocene culture, and of Benson and Craig, argues that the narrative of flexibility integrates humans into the complex social and ecological system known as Earth.

As such, it enables humans to work for a better future through law and politics despite the very real challenges of climate change. Melinda Harmon Benson is an associate professor in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of New Mexico..
