Bibliography
of Literature Relevant to Our Future Sustainability
Bounce
me down to the bibliography citations
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. Obviously, climate change looms large in that
narrative. But not everything of
relevance has to do with climate change.
This
section of the bibliography is broken up into 10 subsections, each focused on
some other significant type of threat
to societal success and/or the well-being of other species that is not being
driven primarily by climate change. For example, here you will find articles on
the problems with our industrialized food system, biodiversity loss and
ecosystem degradation, pollutants beyond greenhouse gases, water scarcity, and
even the nuclear war threat. Any
assessment of our future prospects must also take these issues into account.
Aside
from the time required to review even a handful of the articles in this
section, it takes a concerted effort to synthesize the findings across articles
in the different subsections, and in
sections I,
III,
and IV, and then make some evaluation of what they collectively
imply for our future. The scope is so
big… and so too is the uncertainty!
Well, do not despair because others have done the work for you. You can cut to the chase by bouncing to section
V (Future Scenarios Analyses)
and, especially, section
VI (Synthesis of Existential Risks
and the Potential for Societal Collapse).
As
with section
I, the bulk of the citations here are journal articles that have gone
through the peer review process, which is indicated when the publication is italicized. Government-sponsored reports are also well
represented. Scattered throughout you
will find reports from NGOs, useful web sites, interactive maps, review
articles from news magazines, and a few videos. Some citations appear in more
than one subsection.
There
is plenty of overlap to be found in the articles of any one subsection, but
reviewing multiple sources gives you a sense of where there is consensus or
disagreement among many different researchers, along with regional variability
in the negative (and positive) trends and the advancement of understanding over
time.
If
learning about the threats examined in this section - in a way that gets past a
compartmentalized, intellectual appreciation - is getting you down, you may
want to scan the articles in section
VII (Activism, Eco-anxiety and the Psychology of
Confronting the “Traumacene”) to get a sense of
how others are coping. If you want to
learn about why we have gotten into
this self-made mess and why we are
having such difficulty in extricating ourselves from it, then you should do a
deep dive into section
III -The Cultural How and Why?
Ideologies, Ethics, Economics, and Politics of (Un)Sustainability.
Many
of the articles in section
III also provide assessments of what is required to foster a better
future. In fact, many articles within
all sections of this bibliography do this.
The good news is that we have a decent handle on our threats, challenges,
barriers, and limitations. We also have
many actionable (though often contradictory) ideas on what we need to do to
avoid the worst outcomes and co-create a more just, happy, and verdant world. Sections
VIII – XII of this bibliography focus on these actionable ideas.
