1.5.4 Quantification of Sustainability

Оглавление

Addressing biodiversity includes a shared analysis of the implications of inter-generational and intra-generational inequality on the environment, public safety and wellbeing, financial circumstances and extension of natural capital [45, 46, 48, 49]. In relation to the consequences currently discussed in resilience models, the emphasis is on whether changes on the ecosystem should be taken into consideration.

The theory behind this is to extend the Planetary Boundaries principle as a way to reflect the Earth‘s capabilities which are essential to continuing social growth, as we know it today. The Planet Life Support System (ELSS) is the following features of the Earth system. It is often believed that device states and the associated effects linked to the effect on the environmental quality, which put strain on the ELSS, may be attributed to every alternate decision concerning the configuration and the management of an integrated system. This relationship may be built in the sense of product production following Hauschild [63], by Life Cycle Analysis, as implemented in support of QSAs. Figure 1.7 demonstrates the definition.

Another important point of this article is that due to lack of knowledge and inherent natural variability the resilience and sustainability of engineered systems can only be proven and probabilistically modeled in a meaningful way. As a result, resilience and sustainability criteria need to be described in terms, for example, of appropriate annual resilience probabilities and sustainability failures. It quickly becomes apparent from this point of view that tradeoffs occur.

The problem of how robust built structures and efficient society innovations should be taken into consideration when choosing. The short-term social security may rely on what are perceived as appropriate threats linked to local adaptation failures (e.g. at neighborhood level) as well as society’s tolerance for the possibility of global mitigation failures. In order to promote effective and educated collective decision-making, more work on this solution will be carried out to the immediate future.
