TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION GREENING FOR INTEGRATIONAL SUSTAINABILITY

Technological innovation can result in direct benefits and harm, it represents hope, novelty, challenge for a few and fear, risk, insecurity, danger and instability for others. The advances of the technique generate tensions, in that they represent a practical application of knowledge, with reflection in the present and in the future. On the one hand, this tension tends to preserve the values of sustainability, suggesting a reassessment of legal aspects or the creation of new categories and, on the other hand, to respond to the pressure of economic agents to explore the 'new'. With these assumptions, the present questioning is based on the challenges of technological innovation for intergenerational sustainability. They are themes related to values and fundamental rights of the human being, thus, of great social options, as an opportunity for discussion in the democratic process, overcoming present perceptions, involving responsibility with future generations.
