About this book
In the quest for sustainability, we strive to meet our present needs without sacrificing the same opportunity for future generations. Our success or failure depends on our ability to think in “systems,” integrating environmental, social, and economic considerations. But how do we learn systems-thinking? In a series of engaging, rapid-fire stories, Sustainability through Soccer takes readers on a journey through a progression of systems-thinking and sustainability concepts. Using the beautiful game of soccer as an analogy, Leidy Klotz illuminates real-world interdependencies (such as between climate change and human rights), building the chain of concepts in a fun, accessible way. Soccer nerds and newbies alike will be entertained on the way to a deeper understanding of sustainability science.

- 2. PARTS Systems-thinking is the guide for our sustainability quest, and systems are made up of some basic parts: elements, flows, stocks, feedback loops, and purposes
- 3. BOUNDARIES Our approach to sustainability depends on how we define our system boundaries. What must we consider? What can we leave out? And what can we reasonably infer from the perspective we define?
- 4. BEHAVIORS With parts and boundaries defined, we can detect system-level behaviors and discover how they affect sustainabili y
- 5. EVALUATING To evaluate sustainability in our systems, and check our progress, there are properties to consider and methods o apply
- 6. CREATING Once we’ve defined and evaluated our systems, we’re ready to create systems that are more sustainable
