The sixteen essays in
this anthology have forthrightly identified a range of plausible and serious
threats to the future, not only for Australia, but for human civilisation.
They represent the
view of the individual authors, but were assembled by Australia21 and point, conclusively,
toward rather challenging times ahead for Australians and the broader human project.
The essays can be
accessed by through “Placing
global change on the Australian election agenda” mentioned in the story “Garnaut reconciles economic growth and conservation”.
“Australia21’s
conclusion is that we must find ways to engineer change in the way our social
and political structures engage with the future.
Most importantly, we
must develop a new narrative about human society and its relation to the
limited resources of the planet and restructure our economy and society
accordingly.” - Paul Barratt AO Chair Australia21
