These issues prompt us to act but leave us to decide which of the many proposed solutions will deliver the future we hope for. Should we put our faith in technology, innovation, the market? Should we trust science, change our behaviour, adjust our lifestyles? Should we just carry on as usual?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur decisions will necessarily influence our future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFramework for Our Future\u003c\/em\u003e treats our current circumstance as part of a dynamic, complex human-environment system.
