FU_Sustainable World: a climate for change - Liechtenstein as global laboratory for innovation

Beschreibung

From the very roots of sustainable development to the dramatic dynamics of rapid climate shifts; from 100% renewable energy supply to organic agriculture; from circular economy to responsible finance; and from the means and modes of philanthropy to regenerative infrastructure: the world-wide seeds of change are all present right here in Liechtenstein.

Guests, among others:
Dr. Miriam Marxer, Ministry for Interior, Economy and Environment
Oliver Karius, CEO, LGT Venture Philanthropy
Simon Tribelhorn, CEO, Liechtenstein Banking Association
Dr. Daniel Gstöhl, President Solar Cooperative Liechtenstein

Professor Droege's survey of the topic, course and workshops provides the fundamentals of sustainability and sustainable development, supplies key tools of critical evaluation and strategic planning frames - and challenges your personal positioning and our collective civic engagement. It separates superficial green postures from deep transformational practice, and creates a transdiscipinary blueprint for concrete agendas and self-sustaining economies informed by natural values and long-term investment.

Sustainable World: a climate for change will travel through a thorough introduction, understand the policy landscapes; review the planning world; explore local and regional environmental settings; investigate sustainable finance; understand principles of organic agriculture; study the building sector's contribution; follow the water trail; explore the role of local government in resilience building; pursues the business and foundations community in advancing notions of resilience; and concludes with sessions of imaginative sense-making, creative positioning and articulate, persuasive presentation.

Ziele

To achieve a deep and critical understanding of sustainable development, and the analytical tools needed to assess, evaluate, analyse, optimize, and select in organizational, institutional, societal and communal settings.
Critical thinking, methodical development, argumentation, visualization, synthetic planning
