This Centre's Primary Concern and Focus: 

Looking Beyond Business-as-Usual Sustainable Development

Picture
Sustainable development has become a household term. But ironically, the prospect of a common sustainable future appears to be fading ever more rapidly today. No doubt the idea developed out of a genuine concern for the negative impacts of mainstream economic development on the environment and human communities. Yet, reminders are increasing by the day that careless human interference in ecology and life processes are having dire consequences, across time and space. Our excitement about our achievements aside, the biosphere is under serious threat like never before.  There is all-round unsustainability - economic, technological, political, social, cultural...Clearly, all life is threatened.

Concerned persons all over the globe have made enormous efforts (with even threats to their lives) to conceive and practise development that intellectually and emotionally goes beyond the “business-as-usual” approach to sustainable development. Engaging deeply with indigenous cultures and cosmologies and mindfully designing our future(s), pathways to a spiritually-engaged sustainability are beginning to frame and inspire the human agenda...Slowly moving from the margins to the centre. More. More.
