Abstract
This paper identifies two approaches to how humanity might go about living sustainably – a Reformist approach and a Transformational approach. Reformism, as the current dominant approach, is critiqued using Ecological Footprint Analysis and I=PAT, to assess its merits in seeing humanity undertake an orderly transition to a sustainable world. The results suggest that the pathway Reformism offers is challenging to believe as credible. Further, some of the key strategies the Reformist approach advocates are shown to work against the very outcomes it otherwise sets out to achieve.
