Abstract:
This study explores the history of resource use and the way that it contributes to todays resource use habits, provides examples of resource use, and explores their sustainability implications using the four System Conditions of TNS. This sustainability analysis is
explored from economic, regulatory, social and political contexts. We are, it is unavoidable to conclude, a long way away from sustainability with respect to the way we use material resources today. Again on the basis of the four System Conditions of TNS, a vision was developed by delegates at a 2020 Vision seminar of how resources would be used in a fully sustainable future. Nine key sustainability challenges are identified to make progress towards that vision from where we are today.
