Infos

This accessible and readable introduction to the Sustainability Project quickly became a project upon which six authors collaborated. They brought together the accumulated knowledge of researchers from the Sustainable Europe Research Institute (SERI), who are versed in global environmental change, resource use, work, the economy, and sustainable development. Writing and then discussing and commenting on each other&rsquo,s work brought these experts closer together and made it even clearer to all of them how urgent and important the goal of sustainable development has become. The result was a definitive study of how we need to change, both collectively and individually, to ensure the sustainability of our planet.

For more than thirty years, scientists from various disciplines have warned that the constant increase in world population and exponential world economic growth are seriously threatening our ecosystems. The vision on which this book is based is of an ongoing, adaptable societal process which leads the world down the path towards sustainability. In this vision, the speed of global environmental changes will be drastically reduced without forgoing the good life; at the same time prosperity will be distributed more fairly.
