SD: Imagine a time in future ... • When sustainable technologies (Green Technology) are adopted quickly and across nations to promote water, energy and food security; • When sustainable global financial systems are in place that ensure free & fair trade and fulfill internationally agreed financial commitments; • When environmental resource-base, ecosystem resilience and natural capital are preserved through risk avoidance and rehabilitation of vulnerable hotspots; • When greenhouse gas emission is reduced through low carbon energy initiatives to a level that will hold global average temperatures from 1.5 – 2oC above pre-industrial levels by 2020, to avoid catastrophic changes in global climate system;

SD: Imagine a time in future ... • When greenhouse gas emission is reduced through low carbon energy initiatives to a level that will hold global average temperatures from 1.5 – 2oC above pre-industrial levels by 2020, to avoid catastrophic changes in global climate system; • When world population is stabilized at about 8-9 billion and abject poverty is eradicated, while simultaneously activities accelerate that alleviate relative poverty; and • When sustained economic growth, social cohesion and overall wellbeing of people are promoted through good governance, public- private partnership, education for sustainable development and Sustainability Science, then, SUSTAINABILITY – Key issues, Chapter 7, 2015

Editor's Notes
- Kiribati dancers – citizens of a Pacific Island country most threatened by Climate change and other SD challenges
- Increasing production and consumption put increasing pressure on planetary resources
- The resources are on the decline and the demands are on the rise. This cannot go on for ever, in other words, this is not Sustainable, and that is the problem. Particularly so in ASEAN region – fast tracked economic growth, and rapid urbanisation/globalisation. This has important implication on our natural resources, economy and people
- For development to be sustainable, issues of environment, society and the economy must be handled in an integrated way and the degree of healthy interaction is usually equated to the overall human well being that results; shown at the centre of this Venn dig.
- In a number of sectors, planetary boundaries have been exceeded – Stockholm Resilience Institute slide.
