Abstract

Sustainability expresses culturally evolving sets of values, norms, morals, civic engagements, governance, markets, and corporate ethics. Sustainable initiatives emerge as necessary adaptations to ceaseless human activities transforming Earth's energy, matter and information into entropy, externalities, and inequalities. The uncertainty and unknown unknowns intrinsic to life's nonlinear dynamic complexities make sustainability forever provisional, and given planetary scale disruptions humans are triggering, sustainability in the Anthropocene should seek the greatest resilience at city scale. Disruptions impact localities more frequently than nations and it is largely up to local citizens to implement antifragile sustainable practices minimizing such occurrences and enabling robust recoveries.
