DTU Centre for Absolute Sustainability will strengthen the research in assessment and development of technologies for transition to a sustainable society and support their implementation in collaboration with external stakeholders.
What is absolute sustainability?
To tackle the sustainability crises we face today, we need to shift our approach from relative to absolute sustainability. This means not only considering whether a change is ‘more sustainable’ than the current situation, but designing changes that are actually able to sustain society’s needs without exceeding what our planet can tolerate.
Put simply, ‘better’ is not good enough. We need absolute sustainability.
“It is absolute sustainable when nature's limits of what it can tolerate are the measure of how much we can allow our products and actions to affect the climate and environment.”
