Foster (2008) describes sustainable development as intrinsically a learning process with a goal to make the future ecologically healthy and safe for humans to live in through a continuous development process of responsive learning. As a process that involves collaboration and reflection, learning is an extension of this into an inter-generational scale.

John Foster’s After Sustainability is another attempt. The trouble is that sustainability, and sustainable development in particular, approaches climate change as a ‘problem’. Sustainability, like the mirage it is, has failure to reach it built into the pursuit of it he writes.

There is, writes Foster, no going back. We cannot for the foreseeable future recover the kind of collective communion with the non-human wild that has sustained us for most of the human past. This and other provocative statements call for discussion, especially of the question: Then what?.
