Since the late 1960s, another image of "one world" has edged its way into contemporary consciousness—the globe in its physical finiteness. We share in "humanity", we are connected by the "world market", but we are condemned to one destiny because we are inhabitants of one planet. This is the message conveyed by the first photograph of the "one world", taken from outer space, which has irresistibly emerged as the icon of our age. The photo shows the planet suspended in the vastness of the universe and impresses on everybody the fact that the Earth is one body. Against the darkness of infinity, the circular Earth offers itself as an abode, a bounded place. The sensation of being on and inside it strikes the onlooker almost instantly. The unity of the world is now documented. It can be seen everywhere. It jumps out at you from book covers, T-shirt and commercials. In the age of TV, photographs are our eyewitness. For the first time in history, the planet is revealed in its solitude. From now on, "One world" means physical unity: it means "one Earth". The unity of mankind is no longer an Enlightenment fancy or a commercial act but a biophysical fact.
However, this physical interconnectedness stands in relief against the background of proliferating dangers. From creeping desertification to impending climate disaster, alarm signals multiply. The biosphere is under attack and threatens to cave in. Local acts such as driving a car or clearing a forest add up, when multiplied, to global imbalances. They turn beneficial cycles into vicious ones that undermine the reliability of nature. In the face of incalculable debacles, concerned voices call for a global political coherence which would match the biophysical interconnections. "The Earth is one but the world is not. We all depend on one biosphere for sustaining our lives." After having intoned this leitmotiv, the Brundtland Reports spells out the fateful new meaning of unity. The Brundtland Report, the leading document on development policy in the late 1980s, takes unity for granted, but a unity which is now the result of a threat.
The sentence "The Earth is one but the world is not." in paragraph 2 most probably means that______.
