Overview

Sustainability is a term that has been so corrupted by misuse that it is increasingly seen as meaningless. Sadly, like many of these concepts’ forerunners the misuse of the term risks compromising a tool that brings with it the capacity to make sense of the intertwined nature of the world’s social, economic, environmental and technological challenges.

This short presentation aims to emphasise the potential power of this tool when used in a development context with an emphasis on climate change.
