This report from the National Research Council of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences concludes that human needs over the next two generations can be met while sustaining the earth's life support systems. But this will require the political will to support creation of new knowledge through science and technology and a commitment to turn that knowledge into action. The report sets forth a new research agenda for sustainability science and calls for a linkage of scientific research and private actions to public policies. The report outlines the greatest threats to sustainability and several priorities for action over the next two generations.
