The overwhelming evidence produced by scientific and economic experts shows clearly that sustainability dangers of climate change can be far worse than the disruptions caused by Covid-19 pandemic. The adverse consequences of climate change pose a real threat to humanity. Adverse impacts to the environment threaten food security and its interdependency which the entire social system is relying on. The UN Sustainable Development Goals have given global communities and their leaders a vision of the future, clarity of purpose, a responsibility for all to embrace and a commitment for all to participate. Within this context, ’Sustainability is the future’ reminds readers of the opportunities and the alternatives towards mitigating the economic and social risks posed by the dangers of mounting sustainability concerns. A longer-term solution involves a massive shift in the attitudes and actions. There are available technologies and digital means, but accessibility and affordability remain a challenge. At no time in the history of humanity has there been a more urgent need for political and community leaders to take appropriate actions towards achieving the sustainable development goals. There is enough evidence that governments partnering a broad range of stakeholders can meet this expectation. The book debates what needs to be done, as well as reminding readers that failure to do so will leave the fragile earth in a more fractured state and make it harder to repair. The clock is already ticking
