Definition of strong sustainability
From page 10 and the back cover:
- Strong sustainability is the prerequisite and foundation of any human development, whether social, economic or technological.
- Strong sustainability means the preservation of the integrity of all ecological systems in the biosphere.
- Ecological integrity means the ability of an ecosystem to recover from disturbance and re-establish its stability, diversity and resilience.
- A strongly sustainable human society lives and develops as an integral part of ecosystems that have ecological integrity.
- Ethics, values and 'word views' directly support strong sustainability because people know that they are integral to the ecological systems of the biosphere. Therefore, people desire the integrity of those systems.
