Summary

The sustainability debate had, as its origin, the growing awareness of global environmental problems which seemed to burden future generations with inacceptable hazards, compared to ideas of intergenerational responsibility. In the meantime, the sustainability debate has been extended to general questions how to create and to maintain the conditions for human life under justice criteria. This development causes the demand for integrative approaches: ecological aspects have to be taken into account as well as social or economic ones. Within the HGF an integrative approach has been generated starting from a general principle of justice, intergenerational as well as intragenerational. To operationalise such a concept requires a lot of conceptualising and modelling work.
