Where are we now & how do we continue on a Local Level?

Seeking to operationalize systems change, the Earth4All project developed 5 pathways that steer humanity away from ecological and social catastrophe.

  1. Energy transformation
  2. Food system transformation
  3. Widespread adoption of new economic models in developing economies.
  4. Reduced inequality to at least achieve a goal of ensuring the wealthiest 10% of the global population have less than 40% of the global wealth.
  5. Empower women and invest in education for all.

Panelists will discuss the application of the 5 pathways at the local level in countries or regions. An economic transformation will be necessary and new economic paradigms need to be established – how can the transformation towards wellbeing economics be accelerated?

Friedrich Hinterberger (AT)

Maria Langsenlehner (AT): My work revolves around the question of what levers to pull to move towards a socially just and ecologically sustainable economy. I focus on the circular economy, the wellbeing economy and EU environmental policy.
Friedrich Hinterberger (AT): I am an economist working on society and environment for more than 40 years now. My focus is to provide positive messages on how sustainable development can boost wellbeing and quality of life for all on our planet while respecting its natural boundaries as well as a fair distribution of wealth and wellbeing on earth. Together we can achieve this if we think within and beyond available “boxes”, including scientific as well as artistic approaches as well as everyday knowledge of everybody!
