Abstract

It is clear that humans are irrevocably ruining the environment. Many geographers have confronted this issue through debates and research into the concept of sustainability. Sustainability as an idea and basis for action is, however, fraught with anthropocentric assumptions as well as questions of sustaining what, for who? This chapter critically explores these sustainability debates, foregrounding the contradictions between ‘business as usual’ as described in the Sustainable Development Goals and more radical ideas of sustainability, such as degrowth.
