【摘要】 过去十年间,可持续发展的理论和实践都取得了重大进展。在这些进展当中,可以辨识出三个核心的概念:地球系统观、生态文明思想、低碳经济概念。这三个看起来没有直接关联的概念其实有着十分密切的理论联系。地球系统观强化了可持续发展理论的科学基础;生态文明思想深化了可持续发展理论的哲学和伦理学内涵;低碳经济概念推进了可持续发展理论在实践中的具体应用。三个概念都突出了地球系统作为一个整体来研究、开发、利用和保护;同时也都强调了对地球表层这个自然与社会剧烈交互作用的生态圈和人类圈的理解必须运用全新的视角和多学科的研究方法。深入理解这三个概念的内涵及相互关系是把握可持续发展理论十年进展的关键。更多还原

【Abstract】 Considerable advances have been made in sustainability theory in the last decade. Three major concepts related closely to the innovation are Earth system,ecological civilization, and low carbon economy.These seemingly separate concepts are closely interconnected for the theory of sustainable development:earth system theory provides a solid foundation of scientific analysis;ecological civilization represents a major advance in philosophy and ethics;and low carbon economy promotes practical pathway for achieving sustainable development under the guiding principles of ecological civilization and in the view of earth system.The three concepts all emphasized the earth system as a whole for research,development,utilization and protection, based on a multiple disciplinary approach to the nature-society interactions in the ecosphere and noosphere,thus are keys to understand the development of the sustainability theory in the last decade.更多还原
