Was sind die Alternativen zur vorherrschenden Wachstumsideologie und wie lassen sich die Rechte der Menschen und der Umwelt wahren? Wie lässt sich der globale Casino-Kapitalismus zähmen? Was müssen wir an unserer Lebens- und Wirtschaftsweise ändern, um eine Klimakatastrophe noch abzuwenden und den Ressourcenraubbau zu beenden? Unter dem Motto "Game Over. Neustart!" wurde beim vierten Kongress "McPlanet.com" vom 24. bis 26. April 2009 in Berlin mit internationalen Referent(inn)en über die Brennpunkte der aktuellen Krisen und Ideen und Strategien zu ihrer Lösung diskutiert - auf Panels, Foren und in über 100 Workshops.
While sustainability is in danger of being reduced to a meaningless platitude, the brutal fact remains that industrial countries make a disproportionately large and negative impact on the environment. A serious transition to sustainability will require changing people's mindsets and social institutions, in addition to public policies, technologies and business practices.
This book presents a path-breaking analysis as well as highly innovative proposals for managing this transition. Emanating from Europe's foremost environmental policy think-tank, it has already stirred up a major new debate in Germany on radical, but feasible, directions in which the governments of industrial societies ought to be moving. The concept of "environmental space" and its ingenious development of indicators for measuring an economy's national and global impact combine with its delineation of concrete policies to give this book its intellectual power and potential political impact.

Wolfgang Sachs argues for environmental human rights as a fundamental prerequisite to end the violence of development. He outlines the numerous conflicts over natural resources in the struggle for livelihoods and argues for a transition to sustainability in the more affluent economies, in both the North and South, as a necessary condition for the safeguarding of the subsistence rights of those whose livelihood depends on direct access to nature.
