How to read this diagram
The model integrates three sustainability goals and places them into the historic and global dimension:
- “Environment”: protection of the natural environment and of resources;
- “Economy”: economic growth (productivity, output, wealth);
- “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.
