Ăśber die Potenziale und HĂĽrden der Schweizer Kreislaufwirtschaft
Obwohl die Schweiz theoretisch alle Möglichkeiten für eine nachhaltigere und ökologische Produktion hätte, wird diese noch nicht umgesetzt. Woran dies liegt, hat das Institut Sustainable Business der BFH Wirtschaft zusammen mit der EPB Schweiz AG im Auftrag des Bundesamtes für Umwelt (BAFU) untersucht
Science with Society in the Anthropocene
Interdisciplinary scientific knowledge is necessary but not sufficient when it comes to addressing sustainable transformations, as science increasingly has to deal with normative and value-related issues. A systems perspective on coupled human-environmental systems (HES) helps to address the inherent complexities. Additionally, a thorough interaction between science and society (i.e., transdisciplinarity=TD) is necessary, as sustainable transitions are sometimes contested and can cause conflicts. In order to navigate complexities regarding the delicate interaction of scientific research with societal decisions these processes must proceed in a structured and functional way. We thus propose HES-based TD processes to provide a basis for reorganizing science in coming decade
