Abstract

In line with the goals of the ­2030 Agenda and the Strategic Foresight Report – Charting the Course towards a More Resilient Europe, sustainability, resilience and development are the three key concepts, indivisible and interconnected, for building the Europe of the future: a systemic vision to promote sustainable economic growth without neglecting environmental and social aspects. This means that a more sustainable future is the result of ethical and sustainable business models, production and consumption patterns evaluated according to techniques that quantify the environmental impact of products or processes throughout their life cycle. The unsustainable use of the planet’s resources and the effects of climate change are undermining the livelihoods of many countries and regions, due to water and land scarcity, food insecurity and migration. This chapter analyses these aspects, highlighting how the concept of “sustainability” can also be applied to linguistic reality by referring to the struggle to preserve linguistic diversity and maintain the identities of minority communities.
