While the concept of environmental sustainability has steadily grown over the past thirty years, little progress has been made in unifying the efforts of the entities most involved: society, the environment, the economy, and governmental policy. This synthesis integrates across disciplines to outline the need for a harmonized sustainability model to align disparate environmental objectives. Specifically, this study highlights the disconnect between policy and capitalistic economies regarding environmental sustainability. We then provide a framework for an updated sustainability model and offer pathways toward an improved state of environmental sustainability. Notable contributions include the development of a dynamic, harmonized sustainability model derived from basic supply and demand curves that functions for both the consumption and disposal of resources at multiple scales.
虽然环境可持续性的概念在过去三十年中稳步发展，但在统一最相关实体的努力方面几乎没有取得进展：社会、环境、经济和政府政策。本综述综合了跨学科的研究成果，概述了需要建立一个协调一致的可持续性模型，以协调不同的环境目标。具体而言，本研究强调了政策和资本主义经济在环境可持续性方面的脱节。然后，我们为更新的可持续性模型提供了一个框架，并为改善环境可持续性状态提供了途径。值得注意的贡献包括开发一个源于基本供需曲线的动态、协调一致的可持续性模型，该模型适用于多个尺度的资源消费和处置。
