The word sustainability itself is inadequate, as it does not tell us what we are actually trying to sustain. In 2005, after spending two years working on my doctoral thesis on design for sustainability, I began to realize that what we are actually trying to sustain is the underlying pattern of health, resilience and adaptability that maintain this planet in a condition where life as a whole can flourish. Design for sustainability is, ultimately, design for human and planetary health (Wahl, 2006b).","PeriodicalId":104765,"journal":{"name":"Green Planet Blues","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133953021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although environmental factors are rarely, if ever, the sole cause of conflict – ideology, ethnicity, and economic factors are all connected to violent conflict – research shows that environmental stress and the exploitation of natural resources can increase the severity and duration of conflict, and complicate its resolution. Attempts to control or gain access to scarce or extractive natural resources can contribute to the outbreak of conflict. If access to the direct use of scarce land, forest, water or wildlife resources leads to marginalization or exclusion of certain groups, they become easy targets for political manipulation. Easily exploited natural resources may also alter the dynamics of conflict and turn a political activity into an economic one. High-value extractive resources can finance military operations and sustain a conflict. The prospect of peace may be undermined by individuals or factions that benefit from conflict conditions as they are in control of revenues from resource exploitation.","PeriodicalId":104765,"journal":{"name":"Green Planet Blues","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122600726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Excessive greenhouse-gas emissions are – with scientific certainty – leading to floods, droughts, hurricanes, sea-level rise, and seasonal unpredictability. These impacts are undermining millions of people’s rights to life, security, food, water, health, shelter and culture. Such human-rights violations could never truly be remedied in courts of law. Human-rights principles must be put at the heart of international climatechange policy making now, in order to stop this irreversible damage to humanity’s future.","PeriodicalId":104765,"journal":{"name":"Green Planet Blues","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132317094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
