N2 - Despite increasing efforts to reach sustainability, key global biophysical indicators such as climate change and biodiversity loss continue to deteriorate rather than improve. Ongoing failure to move towards sustainability calls into question the focus of current research and policy. We recommend two strategies for progress.

Second, transdisciplinary research programs must confront key normative questions facing modern consumer societies. The humanities should have a key role in such programs.
