This book focuses mainly on strategic decision making at a global
level, which is rarely considered in approaches to sustainability.
This book makes a unique contribution as the work looks at global
consequences of mineral exhaustion and steps that can be taken to
alleviate the impending problems. This book highlights how
sustainability has become one of the most important issues for
businesses, governments and society at large. This book explores
the topic of sustainability as one that is under much debate as to
what it actually is and how it can be achieved, but it is
completely evident that the resources of the planet are fixed in
quantity, and once used, cannot be reused except through being
reused in one form or another. This is particularly true of the
mineral resources of the planet. These are finite in quantity, and
once fully extracted, extra quantities are no longer available for
future use. This book argues and presents evidence that the
remaining mineral resources are diminishing significantly and
heading towards exhaustion. Once mined and consumed, they are no
longer available for future use other than what can be recycled and
reused. This book demonstrates that future scarcity means that best
use must be made of what exists, as sustainability depends upon
this, and best use is defined as utility rather than economic
value, which must be considered at a global level rather than a
national level. Moreover, sustainability depends upon both
availability in the present and in the future, so the use of
resources requires attention to the future as well as to the
present. This book investigates the alternative methods of
achieving the global distribution of these mineral resources and
proposes an optimum solution. This book adds to the discourse
through the understanding of the importance of the depletion and
finiteness of raw materials and their use for the present and the
future, in order to achieve and maintain sustainability.
