Narrative and Sustainability: An Interpretation and a Case Study

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

The following paper explores and reflects upon the relationships between narrative and sustainability and proposes the use of an interpretation of narrative that encourages more sustainable ways of living. The paper shows aspects of research currently in progress. The whole world is currently facing many challenges, including climate change, biodiversity loss, scarcity of food and water, overpopulation, desertification, and land degradation, to name just a few. To address these challenges, several countries and the United Nations have organised conferences and written documents describing the importance of sustainable development, and proposed actions which should be taken to improve each of the main issues. Indeed, the United Nations website provides a detailed description of seventeen Sustainable Development Goals2considered essential to the development of a better future. The work produced during several previous conferences has informed the definition of these goals. However, these goals can be addressed in multiple ways, and the concept of sustainability is open to many interpretations
