Our world is facing dramatic challenges:
Climate change, overpopulation, water shortages, economic crisis, the end
of oil, species extinction, pandemics and many others.
Some of these issues will pass the point of no return already within the
next 10 to 20 years. They threaten not only our prosperity and social peace,
but also the viability of entire regions.
The task of enhancing our economies and societies must happen quickly, yet
mindful and with a great sense of sustainability.
This is vital if we want to provide a livable world to the generations to
come. We must understand the true causes of these problems, rethink our
current systems, and creatively develop a new global and local vision.
This understanding must balance not only our current crisis, but also
address the creation of a sustainable future.
