Content
Classical strategies to avert this "ecological overshoot" have largely focused on "greening" production
by reducing the material intensity (efficiency) or material throughput (consistency) of economic activity.
None of these approaches, however, addresses the question of how much economic activity is
really necessary in the face of a global ecological overload.
Here, the innovative concept of socio-ecological sufficiency - ensuring a socially satisfactory standard
of living while using natural resources in an ecologically sustainable manner - represents an important
third (integrative) strategy to achieve an economy within a "safe operating space for humanity".
The overarching goal of the course is to establish the concept of socio-ecological sufficiency as a conceptual
and empirical bridge between planetary boundaries research and sustainable production and
consumption, with far-reaching implications for sustainable resource use from a scientific and societal
perspective.
