Sustainability

Nowadays sustainability is a hot topic. It is therefore all the more surprising that so few people know what sustainability really means and how it can be implemented. The transformation towards a truly sustainable economic system is the only way to tackle and successfully solve today's global challenges. This book explains clearly and to the point what is meant by sustainable development, how disruptive technologies enable the necessary transformation, how all of us can doubly contribute to sustainability through personal development & professional impact.
