This conference emphasises the balance between conventional
economic development (growth and productivity enhancement) and
well-being not only of current but also future generations. Including
the welfare of future generations involves the preservation of natural
resources, energy, reduction of emissions, resilience of ecosystems
etc. through appropriate production and consumption patterns.
During our panels and sessions we will try to respond to the
following questions: Can both goals: sustainability and growth based
economic development be achieved at the same time? If that is
possible, what kind of growth advances sustainability, in particular in
emerging economies, and what needs to change in our practices and
believes to attain a balance between preserving natural systems,
given their absolute limits, and further progress in terms of
economic development? What kind of innovations in terms of policy,
institutions and social mechanisms can we envision to ensure
“sustainable development” that warrants the name? These questions
need to be answered not only on the level of the individual company
and household, but also on the level of communities and whole
nations. Yet, if sustainability and economic growth are not
compatible or not any more compatible at a particular level of
economic affluence, how can we organise our economies and
societies and their subsystems (e.g. public and private financial
sector, enterprises, social assurance, distributional justice) as to
assure well-being of all?
