Discuss the following statement: “… policy discussions remain framed by the goal of sustainability. This adherence to sustainability ignores the fact that the concept has failed to meaningfully change the human behaviour that created the Anthropocene” (Benson and Craig, 2014: 778).
This is a two-part essay:
1. Set out, in your own words, how you understand the above statement from Benson and Craig (2014). Who else shares this view? Does anyone contest it?
2. Following your review of the literature, discuss and defend your position. Ensure your position is logically set out and evidence informed.
