in englischer SpracheThe current system of the liberal market economy alongside little enlightened leadership in weakened democracies is destabilising the natural world and harms social cohesion. New economic and political models are necessary to decouple economic prosperity from growth imperatives, and capital flows from the destruction of natural assets. Diversity and resilience should be key components of redesigned governance systems to achieve sustainable development and the well-being of citizens. Which are the impact strategies, transformation pathways and indicators we are best to follow in order to achieve a vision for sustainability?
