Among the specific questions countries must ask are: what level of per capita energy consumption is viable; how to pay for sustainable food production; whether people are better off sticking with low-meat diets; how transport systems should be built around mobility, not car ownership; and whether new technologies could be used to allow people to prosper in the countryside rather than being forced to migrate to cities for a life of urban squalor?
各国必须提出的具体问题包括:什么水平的人均能源消费是可行的?如何为可持续的食品生产买单?人们保持低肉类饮食习惯是否更好?如何围绕机动性(而不是汽车保有量)建设交通系统?能否利用新科技让人们住在乡间即可致富,而不必被迫迁徙到城市,过着都市底层的肮脏生活?
Universities and schools should educate students in ways that equip them to contribute ideas relevant to the country in which they live, rather than promoting unattainable western lifestyles. Much of this work will be in economics and public policy. But new ideas must also be sought across every major discipline – in the sciences and the social sciences, of course, but also in the humanities, in studies of values, of history and of culture.
高校在教育学生时,应该鼓励他们贡献与自己生活的国家相关的想法,而不是一味宣扬难以企及的西方生活方式。这些工作多数应落实在经济学和公共政策领域。但每一项重要科目都应寻找新观点——自然科学和社会科学当然不例外,但也应涵盖人文科学,对价值、历史和文化的研究。
