Why social cohesion is our greatest challenge

摘要

I n this Forum, we will be tackling some big issues — ecological, technological, economic, cultural — within the context of this highly ambiguous word “sustainabil- ity”. My perspective is societal: however else we approach the idea of sustainability, let’s not forget that society itself — the way we actually live, the way we interact, the kind of institutions we establish to preserve our values and to do cooperatively and collabo- ratively the things we can’t do individually — must also be sustainable.
