Abstract

This is a reflection on two chapters about sustainability in their organisation: "The two chapters in this section appear to be pursuing the same goal – an organisation that takes the multiple ecological crises seriously and which helps all members of society to consider their response to these. Beyond their shared goal, the chapters come from different angles. Angelina feels that we are not doing enough of one thing while Sophie’s concern is that we are doing too much of everything else. This can present a double bind; we need more education for sustainable development (ESD) while simultaneously relieving the burdens of the performative culture that characterises many of our institutions. On reflection, perhaps one chapter holds the seed of a solution for the other. "
