Abandonment of sustainable traditions


  • Abandonment of traditional practices by local communities

Claim

  1. An increasing number of indigenous, peasant and local communities are abandoning sustainable traditions in favour of destructive modern activities.

Counter claim

  1. Present-day traditional societies are to a large extent part of the global economy and have lost many of their traditional cultural values. It is unfair to expect them to continue using traditional, low-impact subsistence technologies and strategies.

  2. Local communities are more likely to employ sustainable practices when they enjoy territorial security and local autonomy.
