可持续发展与地球表层的进化

包括非生物、生物和人的地球表层巨系统,是人的生存环境,它是进化发展的。人类社会只有认识并遵守地球表层的进化规律,才能达到可持续发展的目标。

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND THE EVOLUTION OF EPIGEOSPHERE

Epigeosphere or biosphere is a huge open system, including non-living things, living things and human beings. Epigeosphere as a self-organized system is characterized by the process of evolution from the simplicity to the complicity , from disorder to order, and from inorganic to organic. As both open and self-organized systems, epigesophere and human society have similar structures, functions and some common evolution laws which are summarized below: (1) progress from the simplicity to the complicity, from disorder to order; (2)increase of the amount of energy flow, more complicacy and more efficiency of energy circulation and transformation; (3)increase of the amount of matter flow and more efficiency and more closed circulation of matter flow; (4)enhancement of system stabilization ;(5)decrease of the overall entropy and increase of the amount of information in both systems.Only by thoroughly understanding and explicitly obeying the evolution laws of epigeosphere can mankind achieve the goal of sustainable development.
