HUMANS IN THE GLOBAL ECOSYSTEM - PIERRE L IBISC...

The term 'sustainability' is on everyone's lips  but nevertheless we struggle to transpose the
idea into our economic and social structures. This book aims to provide an overview of the
relevant discourses  but also - and above all - a stimulus for fresh thinking  with new
suggestions for the defence and further development of the concept of sustainable development.
It addresses the position of humans in the global (eco)system  and it interprets and applies
sustainability as a multi- and inter-disciplinary concept. It is concerned as much with problem
analysis as with proposed solutions and with the necessary conditions for sustainable
development. The Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development (EUSD) is committed to a
comprehensive implementation of sustainability  in all its complexity  in teaching  research 
knowledge transfer and operational practice. It was the first German university to develop and
implement  in a wide-ranging participatory process involving all staff and students  a detailed
programme of sustainable development  and is considered a pioneer in this regard among German
higher education institutions. This textbook has grown out of a foundation course lecture on
sustainable development at the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development. The editors
conceived the book from that starting point and developed and elaborated it with the help of
many colleagues.
