摘要

评估我们作为一个物种所处的位置,以及需要做些什么来实现可持续的未来是至关重要的;但这还不够。必须认识并克服阻碍我们前进的障碍。以下是我将探讨的七个问题:首先,我们普遍(但现在是致命的)倾向于付出最少努力的道路。第二,想要和重视更多的孩子,而不是生物圈所能承受的。第三,我们倾向于不把我们所做的事情与大规模的影响联系起来,而数亿人就像我们一样。第四,水煮蛙综合症。在地质时间尺度上,人类对生物圈和社会圈造成的变化是极其迅速的。但是,它们太慢了,无法触发内心的警报。第五,激烈的全球“优势”竞争几乎没有给玩家留下选择的余地。第六,上瘾。我们把成瘾归咎于个人,但整个社会都可能上瘾,就像我们不得不上瘾一样。第七道屏障包裹了其余的部分。这是公地悲剧。不可持续的发展是全球公域的悲剧。

Seven barriers to a sustainable future
Taking stock of where we are, as a species, and what needs doing to bring about a sustainable future is vital; but not sufficient. Barriers standing in the way must be recognized and overcome. Here are seven I will explore: First, our universal, but now fatal, attraction to paths that promise minimal effort. Second, the desire to want and value more children than the biosphere can afford. Third, our predisposition not to connect what we do with its large scale impacts as hundreds of millions do just like we do. Fourth, the boiled frog syndrome. Human produced changes to the biosphere and the sociosphere are extremely rapid on a geological time scale. But, they are too slow to trigger inner alarms. Fifth, intense worldwide competition for an “edge” leaves little or no room for player choice. Sixth, addiction. We consign addiction to individuals, but, entire societies can become addicted as we have to oil. The seventh barrier wraps the rest. It's the tragedy of the commons. Unsustainable development is a tragedy of the global commons.
