A brief report on the Mar 20, 21 SD Science meeting at the UN. The 10 presentations are linked, most highly informative. Others raise grave concerns. The apparent dominant view from the sustainability sciences from #1 still seems to be that "decoupling" is a realistic objective, if we just "innovate". If asking the hard questions suggested by #9 we'd acknowledge "decoupling" is an idea to have ever growing wealth and ever shrinking resource needs as our future plan. http://www.synapse9.com/signals/2013/03/23/sci-for-un-sd-goals/
