To address the multiple challenges, humanity can enforce a transformationTransformation to sustainable peaceSustainable peace, merging solution concepts and synergies to stabilize expansive human developmentHuman development within the available environmental spaceSpace in the common house of planet earth. To balance human needsHuman need and available natural resourcesResource governance, an efficientEfficient, sufficient and fair use and distribution is required. A key question is whether a transitionTransition can be achieved mainly by technical innovations within the existing capitalist economy or requires societal innovations and a fundamental system change of fossilFossil capitalismCapitalism towards a new socio-economic and political world orderWorld order.
