环境变化视域下可持续安全思想溯源

The Source of Sustainable Security from the Perspective of Environmental Change

伴随着社会生产力的发展、科学技术的进步以及人类改造自然能力的增强,人类面临的全球环境问题也越来越突出,诸如气候变化、环境污染、生态退化和生物多样性破坏等等环境问题,对人类的生存、发展乃至安全构成了严峻而不容回避的威胁。环境恶化导致不可再生资源枯竭,加速地球承载能力达到极限;尤其是环境恶化导致的生态灾难,迫使人类对自然界和自身的认知发生根本性转变,朴素的自然环境保护意识升级为可持续发展思想和可持续安全理念。如何在改善当代人生活质量的同时又能确保子孙后代平等享受人类资源的权利,实现人类发展的可持续性,已经成为必须正视和急迫解决的现实问题。

With the development of social productivity, the progress of science and technology and the enhancement of human’s ability to transform the nature, the global environmental problems facing mankind are becoming more and more prominent, such as climate change, environmental pollution, ecological degradation and destruction of biodiversity, and other environmental problems, which constitute a serious and unavoidable threat to human survival, development and even security. The deterioration of the environment leads to the exhaustion of non-renewable resources and accelerates the earth’s carrying capacity to reach its limit. Especially the ecological disaster caused by the deterioration of the environment forces the fundamental change of human’s understanding of nature and itself. The simple consciousness of natural environmental protection is upgraded to the idea of sustainable development and sustainable security. How to improve the quality of life of contemporary people while ensuring the equal enjoyment of human resources rights for future generations, and to realize the sustainability of human development, has become a realistic problem that must be faced with and urgently solved.
