How to read this diagram

The model integrates three sustainability goals and places them into the historic and global dimension:

  1. “Environment”: protection of the natural environment and of resources;
  2. “Economy”: economic growth (productivity, output, wealth);
  3. “Society”: social cohesion, fair distribution of welfare;

The double pointed arrows indicate that the goals they point to may mutually support or exclude each other.
