XI. Sustainability Manifestos

Bounce me down to the bibliography citations

What’s Here

This bibliography is concerned with disturbing environmental and social trends, along with the potential to make things better and the risks if we don’t. This section provides links to articles and reports that diagnose our problems and go so far as to suggest how they should be addressed in ways that address the roots of the problems. If you are yearning for someone to just tell you what we should do to fix everything, then this is the section for you.

Before wading into the articles of this section, it is helpful to have a grounding in the principles and controversies of sustainability. You can find those articles in section IX.

There is a lot of utopian thinking¹ to be found in the articles shared here, which has its pros and cons. The primary dodgy thing about utopian thinking is that old saw about how ‘one man’s utopia is another man’s dystopia.’ As there is no one shared set of values and ethics, it is difficult to envision a future state that will sit well for everyone. And the more fervently one believes in the moral correctness of their vision of a utopian end state, the less tolerant they are to dissent. That can get ugly very fast.

But we desperately need more of us engaging in visioning new and better ways to be humans together on this planet. Our practice at doing this has been horribly stunted, as has the degree to which we feel we have some agency in steering the trajectory of civilization. Try to think of some recent work of fiction, film, or art that depicts a plausible, more utopian future. Go ahead, I’ll wait… Not much to point to, is there? On the other hand, we are awash in depictions of dystopian futures. Yes, utopian futures where everything is sunshine and puppies make poor subjects for stories needing the drama of tension and conflict. Yes, depictions of dystopias serve a purpose of warning us away from following negative paths right now (er… see section VI). But it is awfully difficult to arrive at a better place (some promised land) if we don’t have some plan on how to get out of our current situation.

Given that there are >100 citations below, there must be a fair amount of variability in the proposals for a more sustainable world. They vary depending on the ideologies and values of the authors (see section III). They range from incremental anthropocentric approaches favoring the preservation of market-based capitalism, with reliance on governmental policy interventions and technological innovation, to more radical ecocentric approaches favoring grassroots-up cultural transformation, increased local self-sufficiency, and “de-growth” leading to a more steady-state economic paradigm. Regardless of where they fall on this spectrum, all of the manifestos below are focused on the future and are out to create a civilization that is more equitable, just, safe, and ecologically healthy. FYI - more articles representing the eco-communalism perspective and how to make it work can be found in section VIIIG.

Which sustainability “manifesto” works best for you and what does that reveal about your thinking? The ones that work best for me are the ones that see sustainability as more of a never-ending process of striving for justice and well-being than as a well-defined utopian end state. This allows for a more pluralistic way forward that would also be more adaptive. But I am aware that my preferred way of thinking about sustainability is one that would work best with: lots of time to negotiate through a tricky cultural transformation, an engaged and well-informed citizenry, and an inclusive, truly democratic system in place to nurture the negotiations and enact the plans arrived via consensus. Now it is increasingly looking like we have run out of the time to be leisurely about this and more stringent and rushed measures may be necessary in the short term to ensure that we have some version of civilization with which to tinker. Fortunately, we have some blueprints to consult below. Mix and match as you like.
