Sustainability science probes interactions between global, social, and human systems, the complex mechanisms
that lead to degradation of these systems, and concomitant risks to human well-being.
Environmental science is an interdisciplinary study of how humans interact with the living and nonliving parts of
their environment.
Natural Capital = Natural resources + Natural services
Nature resources anything obtained from the environment to meet human needs and wants.
Inhexhausitble (solar/wind energy)
Renewable (trees)
Nonrewable/ exhaustible (Fossil fuels)
Ecosystem services the benefits people obtain form ecosystems (tangible and intangible)
Supporting provisioning/regulating/cultural
Sustainable
development is
,development that meets the need of present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs.
Sustainabile development is a process of change in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of
investment, the orientation of technological development, and institutional change are all in harmony and
enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations.
Sustainable development is development that meets the need of present without compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their own needs

Door het DPRSIR Framework te gebruiken, kunnen we de ontwikkeling van de duurzame ontwikkeling scannen.
Understand sustainability challenges and a quick look at the driving forces that are the main bases of the
sustainable challenges.
Hoorcollege 3 – The demographic optimum
The classic debates
Founders of the Fresh Revolution
- Condorcet: inequality in allocation of resources and develoment of human capital
“educating all will reduce inequality, promote wealth and advance science and technology”(-
(Amartya Sen)
The Britisch contribution
- Thomas Malthus: “I think I may fairly make two postulata. First, that food is necessary to the
existence of man. Secondly, that the passion between sexes is necessary and will remain nearly in
its present state.” the power of population is infinitely greater than the power in the earth to
produce subsistence for man. solution: postpone childhood
Friedrich Engels: de consequentie van deze theorie is dat, aangezien het juist de armen zijn die het
overschot vormen, er niets voor hen moet worden gedaan, behalve het hen gemakkelijk maken om te
verhongeren en hen ervan te overtuigen dat er geen andere redding is .... dan zich zo weinig mogelijk
voort te planten"
“ .. Labour increases with population, …even if output.. is not always proportionate, their remains a
third element, science, the progress of which is just as limitless and at least as rapid as that of
population”
The modern debate
, The Doomsters De doemdenkers
o The population bomb
o The tragedy of the commons
o Limits to Growth
o Global 2000 Report to the president
The cornucopians
o The ultimate resource
o The conditions of agricultural growth
Political ecologists
Frances Moore Lappe & Joseph Collins (1975) ‘Food first’
o No country that could not feed itself
o Inequality is the greatest stumbling block
o Agriculture must be used to provide food first
Four views
- Pessimistic (doomsters)
- Optimistic (cornucopian)
- Political ecology
- Demography
Demographic transitions
Conclusion
- No global generalization on population pressure
- Growth is not over but the speed diminishes
- Comes at a cost Africa (matter of rising inequalities)
- Redistributive justice is needed
- Environmental pressures build up
Q&A
Zijn er op dit moment wetten die effect hebben op de bevolkingsgroei van Nederland?
- Kinderbijslag
