Does this measure provide a stepping-stone (i.e., “flexible platform”) for future improvements?
It is important that investments, particularly when they are large and tie up resources for relatively long time periods, can be further elaborated or completed in line with the sustainability principles in order to avoid dead ends. An example of something to avoid under this analysis would be investing heavily in a technology that will cause fewer impacts in nature today, but that doesn’t have the potential for adapting to contribute to complete compliance with the sustainability principles in the long run.
