Deep Dives: Doomed versus Scalable Ideas

The consequences of modelling possible futures within boundary conditions of sustainability are many. Most of them are growing in importance of todays societal discourse, for instance the need to electrify traffic and get rid of fossil and nuclear fuels. But one remains poorly understood, or not understood at all, spatial planning. Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/pr...

Doktor Karl-Henrik Robért menar att kärnkraft inte har någon hållbar framtid, främst på grund av dess i sig linjära och ohållbara bearbetning av radioaktiva material. Han belyser hur hela livscykeln, från resursutvinning uppströms till de oundvikliga läckage och avfallsströmmarna nedströms, leder till ständigt ökande kostnader och risker. For the english language version of this podcast, listen to...

In this episode, César L. França, PhD, and co-authors show how the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD) connects sustainable value creation through business models. They share real-world cases co-developed with partner companies in the energy and urban lighting sectors, illustrating how the FSSD approach helps capture financial, socio-ecological, and purpose-driven returns.

Neste episódio, César L. França, PhD, e coautores mostram como o Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD) ajuda empresas a criar valor sustentável por meio do design e da inovação em seus modelos de negócio. A conversa traz casos reais desenvolvidos com empresas dos setores de energia e iluminação urbana, mostrando como o FSSD apoia a geração de resultados financeiros, socioecológico...

An assessment of nuclear power through a lens of the absolute code for Strategic Sustainable Development, directly derived from the absolute code of laws of nature, (ABCD-in-Funnel, see previous reflections) clearly shows that this idea as an energy system has no future, remains to be dead forever.

Some people believe that a green tax shift for the greening of industry may harm business. But on the condition that tax-shifts, or other legislative means of supporting greening, are designed in line with the FSSD it is only helpful to all organizations’ bottom lines, from the beginning and throughout the greening.

This case study is an excellent example of how to use FSSD to move towards business goals that are shown to be attractive within boundary conditions that are scientifically robust with regard to sustainability.

Listen to the discussion about Dr Karl-Henrik Robért's reflection on population growth. A narrow focus on the growing human population goes with great risks of being based on two large misconceptions followed by counterproductive flaws as regards what to do : (i) The number of people on Earth will level out at some point soon in the near future, counting a few decades. (ii) And, counter-intuitive...

Listen to the discussion about Dr Karl-Henrik Robért's reflection on the prisoners dilemma and sustainable solutions. The prisoner’s dilemma is an effective analogy about not being captured by what others do or think, when one’s own “high road” projects are planned. The analogy can serve as a framing of gaming models, where social training prior to the game has demonstrated improved decision makin...

Listen to the discussion about Dr Karl-Henrik Robért's reflection on the difference between the Operative System and Apps. This reflection is about a risk when the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD), with its Operative system ‘ABCD in Funnel’, is explained. It is about moving directly to the boundary conditions for sustainable (re-)design. Or in other words, to skipping the log...

Listen to the discussion about Dr Karl-Henrik Robért's reflection on Sustainable Economic Growth. Today’s sustainability driven debate about the economic system contains four misconceptions. They create a perfect storm, where four hidden components are enmeshed into one very dangerous beast. It confuses rational conversations and misbeliefs on both sides of the debate halts the need to update econ...
