Some of the complexity inherent in the sustainability transition can be removed by the classic tools of legal systems: making behavior XYZ illegal so that the majority of people refrain from doing it.

But legal tools are of marginal utility for many essential processes (energy, food systems etc.) that don't offer black or white choices.

The majority of activities have an impact profile that depends on intensity. Almost anything can cross #planetaryboundaries when practiced at scale.

Neben alldem, was die wunderbare @samelou in ihrer Kolumne beleuchtet, gibt es noch einen weiteren Aspekt.

Wir dürfen gar nicht mehr arbeiten, sondern müssen ganz im Gegenteil das Ausmaß unserer Arbeit sehr sehr stark herunterschrauben, denn unser Planet hält das Ausmaß des Konsums gar nicht aus, den wir - folgten wir der Profitlogik weiter - alle 27 Jahre verdoppeln!

20 Stunden Wochenarbeitszeit reichen vollkommen aus, damit wir alles herstellen können, was wir brauchen, ohne dass es sich für irgendwen nach Verzicht anfühlen muss. Der Schlüssel liegt darin, in dieser Zeit #öffentlichenLuxus zu produzieren, statt Dinge, die bei Einzelnen im Schrank verschwinden.

- Exploring pathways for world development within planetary boundaries - "Targeted interventions, such as implementing the Paris climate agreement, a shift to a healthier diet, improved food, and water- and nutrient-use efficiency, can effectively reduce the degree of transgression of the planetary boundaries, steering humanity towards a more sustainable trajectory (that is, if they can be implemented based on social and institutional feasibility considerations). However, even in this scenario, several planetary boundaries, including climate change, biogeochemical flows and biodiversity, will remain transgressed in 2050, partly as result of inertia. This means that more-effective policy measures will be needed to ensure we are living well within the planetary boundaries." - van Vuuren, D.P., Doelman, J.C., Schmidt Tagomori, I. et al.
