商品描述
Climate change, species extinction, energy and raw material shortages are global challenges that are directly linked to our way of doing business. They affect our very existence and jeopardize our ability to lead a good life today and in the future, both as a society and as individuals.
The range of questions for which we need answers seems limitless and finding the "right" path for global change increasingly utopian. How do we maintain an overview in the face of highly complex interrelationships and interactions? How can we distinguish the essential from the non-essential? What fundamental relationships in nature do we need to take into account? What kind of economy is appropriate? What is just? And under what conditions are people willing to change?
This book offers orientation. It deals with concepts from the natural sciences, economics and philosophy - including time, thermodynamics, scarcity, responsibility and justice - which enable an understanding of the upcoming transformation to sustainability from different perspectives. Ideally, they serve as guidelines for effective decisions and show how change is possible despite immense challenges.The book is aimed at anyone who wants to contribute to the transformation towards sustainability - whether in politics, business, administration or civil society.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
氣候變遷、物種滅絕、能源與原材料短缺是與我們的商業運作方式直接相關的全球性挑戰。這些挑戰影響我們的生存，並危及我們作為社會和個體在當前及未來過上美好生活的能力。
我們需要回答的問題範圍似乎無窮無盡，而為全球變革找到“正確”的道路越來越顯得烏托邦式。我們如何在高度複雜的相互關係和互動中保持全局觀？我們如何區分本質與非本質？我們需要考慮哪些自然界的基本關係？什麼樣的經濟體系是合適的？什麼是公正的？在什麼條件下人們願意改變？
本書提供了方向。它探討了來自自然科學、經濟學和哲學的概念，包括時間、熱力學、稀缺性、責任和正義，這些概念使我們能夠從不同的角度理解即將到來的可持續性轉型。理想情況下，它們作為有效決策的指導方針，並展示了儘管面臨巨大挑戰，變革仍然是可能的。
本書的目標讀者是任何希望為可持續性轉型做出貢獻的人，無論是在政治、商業、行政還是公民社會中。
