On a historical global turning point, this book offers a thorough
exploration of the "New Sustainability Paradigm", originally
developed by the Global Scenario Group (GSG) of the Stockholm
Environmental Institute (SEI) as a starting point for analyzing
real-life transitions and transformations. 11 contributors from 5
continents present detailed analyses of economic and political
transitions in Western and Eastern Europe, the USA, the Middle
East, and in Asia, discussing the role of different players in the
implementation of the New Sustainability Paradigm. Part I offers an
overview of the six scenarios developed by the GSG and a short
discussion of significant papers published by the Great Transition
Initiative (GTI) of the Tellus Institute. Next come examples of
dramatic historical and current transitions in Western Europe, the
USA, Eastern Europe, the Middle East (Arabian Spring), and Asia, as
well as an analysis of the potential of humankind to manage a great
transition to the new sustainability paradigm. Subsequent chapters
highlight the role of culture and education and review the role of
different players for the implementation of the new sustainability
paradigm. The focus of Part II is on the ecological pillar of
Sustainability. The discussion includes urgent ecological problems
including climate engineering, eco-criminality, bioterrorism,
biodiversity protection, water, energy, and food security. Part III
deals with needed innovations in sustainable waste management and
sustainable city architecture, especially big cities in developing
and threshold countries, where a significant part of the world
population is concentrated. The fourth and final section offers an
analysis of insights developed throughout the book, and outlines
recommendations for the implementation of the New Sustainability
Paradigm by civil society, grass-root movements, scholars,
politically neutral NGOs, sincere media players, and by open-minded
and enlightened politicians to manage and steer the Great
Transition towards sustainable global democracy.
