How can we foster social change on the scale needed to mitigate climate change, curtail the loss of biological diversity, and halt the destruction of large terrestrial and marine ecosystem, without diminishing efforts to achieve other fundamental goals, such as the MDGs?

Efforts to address problems ike climate change cannot succeed on a business-as-usual basis. Success will require profound changes in modern industrial societies of a sort that is not well understood, much less achieveable on a managed basis. We must also acknowlege the importance of pursuing other fundamental goals, like the MDGs, simultaneously. The great issue of our time is to learn how to achieve sustainable human-environment relations.
