摘要
Human population growth and increasing consumption per capita are causing environmental impacts that threaten the survival and well-being of humans and other species on Earth. To sustain natural ecosystems and human populations with a high standard of living, humanity must now reinvent our systems for the production and delivery of goods and services to dramatically reduce the environmental impacts associated with consumption. The operations management community can contribute critical know-how to do so, as demonstrated by the papers in this special issue.
