Dr Robért reflects on the new EU directives for sustainability reportingThis is a huge opportunity for the world, given the EUs stance in sustainability matters. If organizational reporting is informed by the FSSD, the (i) enlightened self-interest of the individual organization, as well as the (ii) positive impact on the world, will be heavily leveraged.Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast.

Dr Robért reflects on animal ethics. How does the FSSD relate to animal ethics? Used in the right way the robust boundary conditions for Sustainability cover all aspects of animal ethics as well. Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kalle reflects on the relevance of the Low Consumption Society as opposed to large systemic changes. Since the dawn of the sustainability movement in the late 60s, activists and others have repeatedly called for people in the wealthy countries of the west to adopt more modest, low-consumption lifestyles and cultures. Modesty is good. However, appeals to reducing consumption at the individual level, per se, has relatively little promise as regards transitioning towards a sustainable future.

CO2 equivalents is a useful term for climatologists when comparing the relative heating-effect between various green house gases. But the term may also be confusing and even misleading in the public discourse, just like Carbon Capture Storage (CCS), ancient events of climate change and many more.Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast.

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/privacy for more information.

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 episode 8: The perilous future of nuclear power.Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast.

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.Stay tuned! — New cases are on the way! We are now applying this approach to guide the Sustainable Amazon Mobile Labs and Bioeconomy Alliance (SAMBA) Initiative, which brings together organizations from Brazil and Sweden. This collaboration focuses on valuing and integrating Amazon Rainforest ECO-Service Systems into Product design, fostering cross-border learning and regenerative business solutions.Note: In this episode it is stated that there are 4 environmental and 4 social goals, whereas there are actually 3 environmental goals and 5 social goals.

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, socioecológicos e de propósito.Fique ligado! — Novos casos vêm aí. Essa abordagem agora está sendo aplicada na Iniciativa SAMBA (Sustainable Amazon Mobile Labs and Bioeconomy Alliance), que conecta organizações do Brasil e da Suécia para valorizar e integrar os serviços ecossistêmicos da Amazônia no design de produtos, promovendo aprendizado transnacional e inovação para uma economia regenerativa.Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast.

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.Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast.

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.Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast.

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 perhaps, an important driver to make this happen relatively sooner, rather than later, is to take care of one another everywhere and across nations. What really counts here is institutionalized care of the elderly, children, and girls in schools and higher education. Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast.

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 making and planning. Is it useful also for decisions around sustainability planning?Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

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 logic flow behind the need for such boundary conditions of an Operating System. Only when that logic is understood, the boundary conditions are called for as a “cliff-hanger”. So, when they are presented, they make the unique function of the Operative system clear, as well as its empowering of all well thought-through app’s.Learn more at http://fssd.global Hosted on Acast.
