《巴黎协定》只对碳交易商、封存商和地球工程师来说是成功的，在经济持续增长的背景下，他们现在预计将在2050年之前实现排放与清除量的平衡。如果这是可持续发展，它确实是不可信的。但问题出在“可持续发展”范式上，而不是可持续性的概念上。联合国的可持续发展目标明确呼吁加强经济增长，显然与所谓的生态可持续发展的首要目标不相容。瞄准这一截然不同的目标，就是以一种不含其自身毁灭种子的方式生活。危机的诊断非但没有使这一目标失效，反而使它的追求变得比以往任何时候都更加紧迫。“为什么要瞄准可持续性？”这是一个奇怪的问题，但它可能会给出具有启发性的答案。一个答案来自代际义务，但这可能甚至不是最重要的。追求可持续发展本身也是有益的，因为它是追求美好生活的关键部分。
The Paris Agreement was a success only for the carbon traders, sequestrators and geoengineers who are now expected to ‘balance emissions with removals’ by 2050, against a background of continued economic growth. If this is sustainable development, it is indeed discredited. But the problem is with the ‘sustainable development’paradigm, not with the idea of sustainability. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals explicitly call for intensified economic growth and are clearly incompatible with the allegedly overarching goal of ecological sustainability. To aim at this very different goal is simply to aim at living in a way that does not contain the seeds of its own destruction. Far from invalidating this objective, diagnoses of crisis make its pursuit more urgent than ever.‘Why aim at sustainability?’is an odd question to pose, but one that may nonetheless produce illuminating answers. One answer derives from intergenerational obligations, but this may not even be the most important. An orientation towards sustainability is also beneficial in its own right, since it is a key part of aiming at the good life.
