Pending climate change, overpopulation, poverty, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, pollution, food security, economic crises and countless other problems they can all be traced back to humanity's unsustainable practices. Sustainability has often been considered the only viable approach to ensuring humanity has a worthwhile future. The term “sustainability” has gained considerable support since its publication in the Brundtland Report in 1987.

This idea is precisely the reason why sustainability has received such intense attention. Natural resources are at risk of depletion and their quality compromised.

Secondly, science seeks to communicate and make available the valuable knowledge it has acquired. Scientists are expected to have a more direct role in policy and decision-making, particularly in social and economic issues (Mccool and Stankeey 2004).
