Implementation of the New Sustainability Paradigm: List of Recommendations

Abstract

Taking reference to a famous quote of Montesquieu concerning the abuse of power, strategies are developed to restrict the abuse of modern power networks. Starting from a three-step approach to inform oneself and others about current developments in politics, the economy, and the natural environment on local, national, and global level, promising proactive strategies, such as the creation of new NGOs, public Round Table Groups, and Think Tanks which are independent from the current power players are recommended. Finally, a list of topics which should be put on the agendas of these Round Table Groups and NGOs along with strategies to promote these ideas to open-minded mass media players and thus to the general public as well as to politicians and businesspeople of integrity is provided. The strategies also include some warnings regarding potential traps which should be avoided by those who want to help humankind to arrive at the New Sustainability Paradigm in a peaceful and efficient way.
