🌍 Exploring Sustainable Development: A Story of Wicked Challenges Hello LinkedIn community! 🚀 Today, let's embark on a journey through the intricate world of 'wicked' problems, shining a light on sustainability. Picture this: 'Wicked' problems, like navigating a maze without a clear path. They're complex, undefined, and lack straightforward solutions. 🧩 Our journey begins with the concept of sustainability and sustainable development, a term that has evolved over the years to suit various perspectives. According to the 1987 UN Brundtland Report, it's about "meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Sounds promising, right? But, the devil's in the details, sparking ongoing debates on how to achieve this goal. 💬 If you're eager to dive deeper, check out the 14-minute video on the 'Evolution of Sustainable Development' https://lnkd.in/dtBGjF-c. Now, let's unravel the distinction between Hard and Soft Sustainability: 🔵 Hard Sustainability: Natural capital is irreplaceable, a complex system vital for human well-being. It's not just a resource stock – it's the lifeline we need to protect. 🔴 Soft/Weak Sustainability: Believing in full substitutability, even if a mine pollutes, it's considered sustainable if revenue can be converted into other capitals. But here's the challenge: How do we ensure no net loss in biodiversity and ecosystem services? #SustainabilityJourney #WickedProblems #SustainableDevelopment
