In eco-humanism, humans are considered close to nature and promote ethical stewardship and community-based sustainability efforts. In contrast, eco-modernism emphasises technological advancements that can solve environmental problems while sustaining economic growth. It discusses the synergies and contradictions that result from such opposite ideologies. Initiatives like renewable energy projects and precision agriculture show synergies between technological development and social equity targets. However, there are contradictions when technological solutions bypass ethical considerations, as in large-scale projects without community consultation. The review also considers how to integrate these frameworks, where priorities differ, and technological optimism might overshadow necessary behavior changes. It demonstrates how interdisciplinarity in research, inclusive education, and policymaking can close the gap between eco-humanism and eco-modernism. This paper concludes that human-centred ethics combined with technological innovation constitute a viable way forward towards sustainable development. By embracing both ideologies, future sustainability efforts can be more inclusive, just, and effective in tackling global environmental and social problems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54228,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101018"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143783433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such a process is steered by technology philosophy. The article explores and resolves the seeming differences between ecohumanism and ecomodernism by applying a dynamic perspective of emerging innovation systems. In the very early phases, where the general dedication, search heuristics and relevant knowledge space is determined, ecohumanism should shape the sustainability dedication by establishing general rules respecting the fundamental importance for subsequent innovation. Ecomodernism then helps in both the following explorative phases to effectively guide progress, as well as in the more and more exploitative phases to efficiently guide progress within these general rules. This dynamic combination of ecohumanistic and ecomodernistic thinking demonstrates how a mandatory sustainability focus can be implemented without falling back to a naive techno-optimistic view. The article highlights the relevance of our approach for green chemistry. The principles of green chemistry provide ecohumanist guideposts for technologies currently in the stage of ecomodernist intensification.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54228,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Green and Sustainable Chemistry","volume":"53 ","pages":"Article 101015"},"PeriodicalIF":9.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143680583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
