Strong sustainability is the prerequisite and foundation of any human development, whether social, economic or technological. • 2. Strong sustainability means the preservation of the integrity of all ecological systems in the biosphere.

A strongly sustainable human society lives and develops as an integral part of ecosystems that have ecological integrity. • 5. Ethics, values and ‘world views’ directly support strong sustainability because people know that they are integral to the ecological systems of the biosphere. Therefore, people desire the integrity of those systems.
