Environmental sustainabilities: an analysis and a typology

An analytical and typological approach to environmental sustainability overcomes the limitations of the definitional and discursive methodologies in sustainability policies. The strategy focuses on the interlink between environmental sustainability, sustainable development and social justice and proposes diverse conceptions and packages of sustainability based on human welfare. Although social justice is central to discourses on sustainability policies, the potential appropriate regime of social justice varies in conceptions of environmental sustainability and sustainable development.
