Societal Sustainability

Abstract

Research on the sustainability of society, both theoretically and practically, is lacking. Research indicates that discussions on environmentally friendly growth did not fully incorporate the “societal” aspect until much later. To close this hole, the present research suggests a novel conceptualization of the sustainability of society. Researchers argue that danger is a fundamental component of environmental sustainability and that modern human societies and their living environments face grave interpersonal, geographical, fundamental, and physical hazards as a consequence of the uncertainty surrounding warming temperatures. The authors suggest that a sustainable society works to face risk while addressing social issues in the context of sustainability. As a result, they offer a thorough conceptual framework of social sustainability that consists of four interconnected conceptions of environmentally conscious practises—every one of them integrates important societal components and serves a specific purpose within the overall structure.
