Summary
The social dimension of sustainable development
The magnitude of the impact of human activities on the natural environment is now on a planetary scale (Vitousek et al., 1986; Rockström et al., 2009). The growth of the human population and the growth in amount of natural resources used are altering the Earth in unprecedented ways (Lubchenco, 1998), while humanity at the same time is fundamentally dependent on Earth system processes for a prosperous societal development (Rockström et al., 2009). Hence, natural resource extraction and environmental impact have a deeper meaning than simply correcting for externalities. People are embedded in Earth system processes, dependent on the capacity of ecosystems to generate ecological services for societal development. Therefore, the very notion of “natural resources,” as the term is being used in this book, does not only include single extractable resources such as, for example, fish, timber, and minerals; instead natural resource are also perceived in the much broader context of biophysical processes and ecosystem services (see Daily, 1997; Chapin et al., 2010).
