In 2011 the United Nations Environment Programme reported that, if nothing changes, humanity will demand 140 billion tons of minerals, ores, fossil fuels and biomass every year by 2050. This is three times our current rate of resource consumption, and far beyond what the Earth can supply. 34 Climate change Climate change refers to general shifts in climate, including temperature, precipitation, winds, and other factors. Global warming is often misunderstood to imply that the world will warm uniformly. In fact, an increase in average global temperature will also cause the circulation of the atmosphere to change, resulting in some areas of the world warming more, others less. 35 Figure 10: Climate change and Global warming Source [50] 34 Depletion and the changing geopolitical landscape [online]. 2012.01.19 [cit.2012.04.15].

2.3 Sustainable social development Koning (2001:9) suggests that social sustainability refers to “a society that is just, equal, without social exclusion and with a decent quality of life, or livelihood, for all”. Social sustainability occurs when the formal and informal processes, systems, structures and relationships actively support the capacity of current and future generations to create healthy and liveable communities. Social sustainability is ‘a life-enhancing condition within communities, and a process within communities that can achieve that condition’, and that this condition has the following features: 2.3.1 Sustainable social development characteristics • Equity of access to key services (including health, education, transport, housing and recreation) • Equity between generations, meaning that future generations will not be disadvantaged by the activities of the current generation • A system of cultural relations in which the positive aspects of disparate cultures are valued and promoted when it desired by individuals and groups • Widespread political participation of citizens not only in electoral procedures buy also in other areas of political activity, particularly at a local level • A system for transmitting awareness of social sustainability from one generation to the next • A sense of community responsibility for maintaining that system of transmission • Mechanisms for a community to collectively identify its strengths and needs. The goal of sustainable development is to improve living standards and the quality of people’s lives, both now and for future generations. Social issues are an important piece of the development "puzzle." The need for social services is universal. All people in a society must have access to certain basic goods and services in order to lead healthy, fulfilling and productive lives. Education and training must be available, so that everyone has the chance to earn a decent living and learn new skills. - 30 -
