Sustainability is dead.
\nLong live sustainability!<\/span><\/h1>\n

Sustainability stands at a crossroads. Against this backdrop, this Whitepaper consciously focuses on the opportunities and potential of sustainable development. It is intended to support companies and decision-makers who are currently facing significant challenges, without moralizing or ideological bias. More than ever, it is essential to demonstrate how and which sustainability narrative can help revitalize the economy.<\/p>\n

The central question of this Whitepaper is how this profound transformation of our economy can be shaped in a positive way, and what role CSR and sustainability managers play in this process. It is also explored which topics can help build the necessary bridges between economic and societal perspectives, and what significance new technologies have in enabling complex transformation processes.<\/p>\n

Peace and Sustainability<\/span><\/h1>\n

Twelve research agendas for advancing the peace-sustainability nexus<\/h4>\n

The world\u2019s social and environmental systems are currently experiencing an increase in the number of conflicts and irreversible human-induced changes. This forum outlines 12 key research agendas essential for advancing our understanding of the peace-sustainability nexus: global challenges (including the Anthropocene, disasters, and migration); socio-ecological systems (such as oceans, water, and heritage); policy solutions (focused on cities, food, and geoengineering); and guiding principles for peace and sustainability (emphasizing gender, justice, and plurality). Each agenda echoes the normative elements of peace and sustainability as processes while situating them within specific contexts.<\/p>\n

Planetary Peace for Human Security: Responses to Existential Risks in the Anthropocene\u00a0<\/span><\/h1>\n

Sustainable Transformation and Well-being<\/span><\/h1>\n

This book by Dr. Marisa M\u00fchlb\u00f6ck makes a case for the recognition that a sustainable transformation of the economic system and individual and collective well-being are inextricably intertwined. Its starting point is the universal human motivation to lead a happy and fulfilling life across cultural, social, and demographic boundaries. The contributions in this book combine theoretical concepts, empirical findings, and culturally diverse perspectives into an integrative discourse.<\/p>\n

The contributions in this book combine theoretical concepts, empirical findings, and culturally diverse perspectives into an integrative discourse. Using<\/p>\n

concrete examples from various fields of application and the personal experiences of real entrepreneurs, they demonstrate how sustainability and well-being can generate mutually reinforcing positive dynamics.<\/p>\n

In doing so, the book contributes to a new narrative of the economy: an economy that not only generates value but also contributes significantly to the realization of human potential and a successful life for all.<\/p>\n

Earth for All: A survival guide for humanity<\/span><\/h1>\n

The economic operating system keeps crashing. It\u2019s time to upgrade to a new one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five decades ago,\u00a0The Limits to Growth\u00a0<\/span>shocked the world by showing that population and industrial growth were pushing humanity towards a cliff. Today the world recognizes that we are now at the cliff edge: Earth has crossed multiple planetary boundaries while widespread inequality is causing deep instabilities in societies. There seems to be no way out.<\/p>\n

Earth For All\u00a0<\/span>is both an antidote to despair and a road map to a better future. Using powerful state-of-the-art computer modeling to explore policies likely to deliver the most good for the majority of people, a leading group of scientists and economists from around the world present five extraordinary turnarounds to achieve prosperity for all within planetary limits in a single generation.
