Following an article that asked whether the climate change movement had meant the death of traditional environmentalism, SEI Executive Director Johan L. Kuylenstierna argues that it does not have to be an either/or argument – that in fact, healthy ecosystems are essential to human well-being.
Every aspect of our lives is intertwined with natural systems: the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, even the materials used in our most advanced technologies. Our future depends on our ability to maintain these systems, and to restore them where they’ve collapsed.
At the same time, we cannot deny the importance of humans – and our desire to have decent lives: not just basic food and shelter, but also energy, mobility, communications and other goods and services.
