Abstract
This paper was presented at the 106th Annual Meeting of the American Society of International Law on a panel considering the 2012 U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development. The paper provides a critical and provocative analysis of how the concept of sustainable development has become beholden to economic growth and, on this account, why it is unfit to continue to serve as the major organizing principle for global environmental protection.
