Our research towards a healthy and thus sustainable global society

focus one

The new healthy global society

Democracy and peace are within constant stress and under pressure from the “mimetic forces” (including greed, vanity, envy, jealousy, group-think, trash culture, addiction, quick fun & satisfaction, et al.).

We want to develop the concept of “health” (including love, joy, wellbeing, happiness, good relationships & vulnerability) towards the core concept for “global democracy“.

focus two

The new healthy global economy

We want to develop the concept for a new healthy and thus sustainable (global) economy including globally working and binding markets for “common goods” based on the “planetary boundaries” concept and with the help of the “science based targets” approach.

focus three

Global democracy and healthy technology

Research, innovation, and technology have delivered fantastic progress for humanity. Yet, innovation does not necessarily mean progress. This ambiguity is becoming a new quality, since innovations within the 21^st century tend to have a global impact (e.g., developments around “artificial intelligence” and “quantum computing”). Therefore, to develop a healthy and thus sustainable society, we investigate new forms of governance for technology based on global democracy.

focus four

Trans- and interdisciplinary global warming scenario

We want to develop a (better) trans- & interdisciplinary understanding of global warming, since we see “greenhouse gas” (GHG) emissions, global warming, climate disruption, and the loss of biodiversity as the currently by far most pressing global challenge for humanity and we will experience “societal collapse” faster than most can imagine.
