Who bears the greatest responsibility for sustainable development? Politics, citizens or economy?

2. Does the repair of old products as part of sustainable economy have a chance in the short to medium term? (Although people are trimmed by means of advertising to always have to follow the latest trends, and the manufacturing industry could expect less sales in the future due to the longer use of products...)]]> 2022-04-12 15:49:54 UTC https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2141054079 Simon's questions https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2142247717 1. As you show in your book, there is a big gap between theory and implementation of the concept on sustainability.What would have to happen to push sustainability action forward? Or to narrow the gap?

2. Is Post Growth realistic in the "gloabal north"? Because I can imagine that many people do not want to give up priviliges/wealth which are based on economic growth (services, pension fonds e.g.).]]> 2022-04-13 11:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2142247717 Mathis´s questions https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2146983100 1. Why do you think there is such a big gap between aspiration and reality in the sustainability debate? Is this more for political or psychological reasons?

2. Do you think it is realistic that in the near future the world will come together again for a Rio-like summit and together redefine the concept of sustainability?]]> 2022-04-18 13:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2146983100 Alexander's questions https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2148563366 1. The book states: "There is a considerable gap between wide-ranging sustainability talk and missing sustainability action". But at the same time, isn't the focus on pointing out the imperfect attempts at definitions detrimental to the attempt to link theory and action more closely?
2. In connection with question 1, doesn't the criticism of the Pareto Optimality of current approaches also lead to the undesired standstill of actions, because nobody wants to make things worse, but thereby also no improvement can occur?]]> 2022-04-19 13:17:55 UTC https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2148563366 Iven's questions https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2148613536 1. Sustainability depends on perspective and means different things to different people. Is it not possible to recognize a disadvantage for at least one dimension of sustainability in every action, so that a true sustainable action does not exist?

2. Accordingly, must sustainable development consist of one social, economic and environmental measure? ]]> 2022-04-19 13:47:56 UTC https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2148613536 Carina's questions https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2148614970 1. What role will artificial intelligence and big data play in the future for sustainable urban development ?
2. What advice would you give aspiring urban planners for the start of their professional careers? ]]> 2022-04-19 13:48:47 UTC https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2148614970 Helene's questions https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2149993427 Ferdinand von Schirach - a german jurist and author - demands six new fundamental rights for the EU. Two of them: 
"Everyone has the right to live in a healthy and protected environment."
"Any person may bring an action before the European Courts for systematic violations of this Charter."

Do you think that could be a new and sustainable way to improve sustainability (and social justice, ...) and make people take more responsibility?

If not: What could be a way to prevent green washing or isn't that the aim because if it's good/sustainable/just depends on who you ask? (Like "There is always a good side - just focus on that".)

How is sustainable development being discussed in the US at the moment?]]> 2022-04-20 17:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2150718012 Roxy's questions https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2151814889 1) You mentioned that the meaning of sustainability can be contradictory between the global north and south - how so?

2) Many Americans are (actually or out of convenience) dependent on their cars. Have you noticed a shift in the perceived importance of individual vs. public transportation or do you anticipate one? Have you witnessed any new dialogues or behaviours around you since the outbreak of the Russian/Ukrainian war?]]> 2022-04-21 10:12:47 UTC https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2151814889 Philipp´s question https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2152071369 The statement of Scott Campbell indicates that "in the battle of big public ideas, sustainability has won: the
task of the coming years is simply to work out the details and to narrow the gap between its theory and practice” (Campbell 1996, 312). (p. 6)
My question is: which other "big public ideas" exist which may be contradicting or challenging or even opposing the sustainability idea or even offer another path. This question relates to the fact that "[t]here is a considerable gap
between wide-ranging sustainability talk and missing sustainability action." (p. 50)]]> 2022-04-21 13:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2152071369 Tim‘s Questions https://padlet.com/moessner1/gu0fuje4cuna0rqc/wish/2152158396 Questions - Tim Sonntag
