Global environmental problems
…caused by extensive resource use related to production and use of products.
Mitigate environmental problems by reducing resource use in absolute terms.

Carbon is not enough!

Our economy is the instution we created to produce what we want to have
a good life!
The „good economy“ should serve „the good life“! E.Phelps (Nobel Laureate in Economics, 2006)
![Page 14: Green development as green new deal More of Joie de Vivre with less Resource use](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568163c1550346895dd4e3a2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Back to the roots of Sustainable Development
“Sustainable development is a development that meets
the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their
own needs“
- What are needs?- What is their link to well-being, capabilities,
values, quality of life, …?- How can they be addressed in our work?
![Page 15: Green development as green new deal More of Joie de Vivre with less Resource use](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568163c1550346895dd4e3a2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Consumption and Quality of Life (I)
Consumption serves our needs and increases ourmaterial and immaterial quality of life
Material well-being enables consumption
The “good life” is defined in material termsby most people
Consumption Quality of Life
![Page 16: Green development as green new deal More of Joie de Vivre with less Resource use](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568163c1550346895dd4e3a2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• directly: addiction, trheadmills• Indirectly: resource used endangeres
eco-systems
BUT: quality of life can even decrease withincreasing consumption
Consumption Quality of Life
Consumption and Quality of Life (II)

Key challenge for sustainable development
• No country in the world has so far achieved a combination of high resource productivity, high levels of social & human development, and low per capita consumption!
• Early industrialized economies arethe most resource efficient countries in the world (excluding indirect flows)
• BUT: high p.c. material consumption not environmentally sustainable.
• AND: exploiting the rest of the world with severe impacts on QoL there
![Page 18: Green development as green new deal More of Joie de Vivre with less Resource use](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568163c1550346895dd4e3a2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sustainable strategies – high QoL
Slow food• Movement coming from Italy; 80.000 members in 100 countries• Philosophy of enjoying• Counter movement to uniform, globalised fast food• With pleasure – aware – regional – saisonal –
organic
Simple living• LOVOS: lifestyle of voluntary simplicity• Lifestyle as alternative to consumption oriented affluent society• Criticizing materialism and fast living• Bewusste reduction of consumption: for higher quality of life
and less resource reduction• Outwardly more simple and inwardly more rich!• Book by Tiki Küstenmacher: Simplify your life

To get there: you can’t manage what you can’t measure
![Page 20: Green development as green new deal More of Joie de Vivre with less Resource use](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070422/568163c1550346895dd4e3a2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The concept of ecological rucksacks/footprints (=resource consumption)
traces back resource consumption, emissions, environmental impacts over the whole chain of production or value chain.

Why is measuring important?
Clear communication in an understandable way is key to reach target audiences.
Targets can only be defined based on clear measurement systems and robust indicators.
Policy makers demand solid information to design appropriate policy responses.
(Self-) evaluation and (cyclical) re-design of policies
-> scoping, visioning and learing! (www.matisse-project.net)

INPUTS and OUTPUTS over the whole value chain
INPUT: material, water, land
OUTPUT: emissions, waste, dangerous substance, etc.

• materials: light, small „rucksack“, separable, close to natural cycles
• use: durable, robust, long-time fashionablerecyclible, degradible
• design: functional, timeless, adaptable,modular, originale (artisan)
• technology: re-newable, repairable, upgradable(in technical, organisational and economic terms)
• regional cycles for materials, products and services
• markets: for products and services, first and second (third, fourth…) hand

Business: provide products and services that increase QoL with much less resources.
Citizens:question their own patterns of consumption and provide examples for others
Policy:creats the framework and gets the prices right.
Research:develops the concepts, measures the effect andspreads the news
We all can/must contribute!
