Sustainability concept of energy, water and environment systems

This review first introduces the historical background for the
sustainability concept development. Special reference is given to the energy
resource depletion and its forecast. In the assessment of global energy
resources attention is focused in on the resource consumption and its
relevancy to the future demand. The recent assessment of sustainability is
reflecting the normative and strategic dimension of sustainability.
Special attention is devoted to the most recent development of the concept
of sustainability science. A new field of sustainability science is emerging
that seeks to understand the fundamental character of interactions between
nature and society. With a view toward promoting research necessary to
achieve such advances, an initial set of core questions for sustainability
science was proposed.
