Dealing with time is intimately linked to sustainability, because
sustainability, at its core, involves long-term ethical claims. To
live up to them, decision and policy-making has to consider
long-term development of society, economy, and nature. However,
dealing with time and such long-term development is a notoriously
difficult subject, both in science and, in particular, in practical
decision and policy making. Rooted in philosophical and scientific
reasoning, this book explores how the concept of time can be
incorporated into effective practical action. The book describes a
system and uses case studies to help sustainability practitioners
and researchers consider the long-term consequences of our actions
in a methodical way. The system integrates scientific and practical
knowledge about time and temporal developments to help break down
the sometimes overwhelming complexity of sustainability issues.
Combining theoretical conceptual thinking and practical
applications, this book will be of great interest to students and
researchers of sustainability science, environmental sciences,
sustainable development, environmental economics, political
sciences and practical philosophy.
