چکیده
The Geoscope is an instrument for globally comparative observation and analysis of regions with respect to measurements that have an impact on sustainability.

The present global economic and social development is in many respects not sustainable. It cannot be maintained in this form without irretrievably destroying the natural life support functions for human society.
