In this timely exploration of sustainable actions, Christian Berg unpacks the complexity in understanding the barriers we face in moving towards a sustainable future, providing solution perspectives for every level, from individuals to governments and supra-national organizations offering a lucid vision of a long-term and achievable goal for sustainability. While the 2030 Agenda has already set ambitious targets for humanity, it offers little guidance for concrete actions. Although much is already being done, progress seems slow and some actions aiming at sustainability may be counterproductive. Different disciplines, societal actors, governmental departments and NGOs attribute the slow progress to a number of different causes, from the corruption of politicians to the wrong incentive structures. Sustainable Action surveys all the fields involved in sustainability to provide action principles which speak to actors of different kinds, not just those professionally mandated with such changes. It offers a road map to all those who might not constantly think about systems change but who are concerned and want to contribute to a sustainable future in a meaningful way. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of sustainability issues, as well as those looking for a framework for how to change their systems at work to impact the quadruple bottom line: environment, economy, society, and future generations.

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Medienokonomie, -management, Note: 1,0, Hochschule der Medien Stuttgart, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Anything. Anytime. Anywhere. Drei kleine Worte helfen schnell zu verstehen, wie die mobilen digitalen Medien unsere Gesellschaft in vielerlei Hinsichten verandert haben. An Bushaltestellen wird getwittert und gegoogelt, auf Partys geschossene Fotos werden in Sekundenschnelle auf Facebook hochgeladen, Menschen bedienen in der Offentlichkeit ihr Smart Device per Sprachbefehlen und Zeitungen gibt es nun auch im handlichen digitalen Format. Smartphones und Tablets unterstutzen nahezu jede denkbare Alltagssituation. Sie sind schnell griffbereit, gestatten als vielgenutzter Kommunikationskanal jederzeit den Kontakt mit Freunden und Familie und ermoglichen die Nutzung ihrer Leistungsmerkmale von nahezu jedem Standort aus. Die vorliegende Studienarbeit untersucht daher vor allem die Wandlungserscheinungen der Always-On-Gesellschaft," den sowohl Smartphones als auch Tablets mit sich bringen. Fur ein besseres Verstandnis erfolgen zunachst die Definitionen der wichtigsten Begriffe, die diesem digitalen Segment entsprungen sind. Anschliessend werden die Einsatzmoglichkeiten von Smartphones und Tablets offengelegt, welche mit Nutzerzahlen aus aktuellen Studien erganzt werden. Das darauffolgende Kapitel untersucht die unterschiedlichen Wandlungserscheinungen im Alltag, die durch beide Gerate verursacht werden. Fokussiert werden hierbei die Veranderungen der Kom-munikation zwischen den Menschen untereinander, die Auswirkungen auf das So-zialverhalten eines jeden Nutzers und die neue Art und Weise der Informationsaufnahme. Um weitere und noch nicht erwahnte Erkenntnisse zu betrachten, werden im funften Kapitel die Resultate einer eigens durchgefuhrten Befragung dargestellt, die sich ebenfalls auf den privaten Alltagswandel konzentriert. Bevor die Ergebnisse der Studienarbeit zusammenfassend nochmals aufgefuhrt
