My thoughts on:

8. These recent research findings demand a new perception of responsibilities and accountabilities of nation states to support planetary stewardship. This requires goals aimed at global sustainability rather than sustainable development.  {Andrew Dobson’s Typology would help here, as would Michael Jacobs’ unpacking. Global ecological sustainability is, I think, a clearer term; however societies will develop, so it would be better for that to be sustainable}. One crucial part of this fundamental transformation is to move away from income as the key constituent of well-being and to develop new indicators that measure actual improvements in well-being at all scales. {Aristotle and the majority of the global population would be unlikely to believe that well-being can be measured – I certainly don’t. That we try to measure the unmeasureable is a key factor in our problems.} Equity in opportunities to improve well-being, and eradication of poverty at the individual level will also play pivotal roles in the transition towards planetary stewardship.
