Mit Anlass des 10-jährigen Jubiläums von Zukunftswerk schauen wir in dieser Podcastreihe auf die Entwicklungen verschiedener Nachhaltigkeitsaspekte über die vergangen 10 Jahre. Wo haben wir es geschafft, signifikante Veränderung rechtzeitig umzusetzen und an welchen vielleicht unbekannten Stellen versagen wir? In diesem zweiten Teil zur sozialen Nachhaltigkeit nehmen wir uns das Thema Wohlstand vor. 

Die zweite Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts war vielerorts mit einem sozialen Aufstieg verbunden. Für Deutschland, aber vor allem auch global. Hält diese Entwicklung auch im 21. Jahrhundert an? Gibt es einen Aufstieg durch alle Schichten der Gesellschaft, oder klafft die Einkommensschere immer weiter? Heute schauen wir uns die entsprechenden Trends im Zusammenhang mit den SDGs 1 “Keine Armut” und 10 “Weniger Ungleichheiten” genau an.

Nachhaltige Entwicklung ist oft ein trostloses Thema. Wenn wir in die Zukunft schauen, auf die Entwicklung die vor uns liegen, dann wird offensichtlich, dass wir nicht schnell genug handeln, weiterhin zu viele Emissionen verursachen, zu viele toxische Stoffe freisetzen, und zu wenig gegen soziale Ungerechtigkeiten tun. Gibt es also überhaupt noch Hoffnung, dass wir rechtzeitig die Kurve kriegen?

Was die Zukunft bringt, ist schwer zu sagen. Doch, man vergisst auch schnell, was in der Vergangenheit erreicht wurde. Genau deshalb schauen wir in den kommenden Folgen, mit Anlass des 10-jährigen Jubiläums von Zukunftswerk, auf die Entwicklungsfortschritte in verschiedenen Nachhaltigkeitsbereichen über die vergangen 10 Jahre. Wo haben wir es geschafft, signifikante Veränderung rechtzeitig umzusetzen und an welchen Stellen versagen wir?

Wir beginnen die Reihe mit  einem Blick auf die soziale Nachhaltigkeit. In diesem ersten Teil schauen wir dabei auf die physiologischen Grundbedürfnisse: Den globalen Zugang zu Trinkwasser, Nahrung, und Gesundheitsversorgung.

Is a consumer-focused “zero waste lifestyle” the solution to environmental destruction? No… and yes. In this episode, Prerna interviews Anne-Marie Bonneau, sustainability activist and author of The Zero Waste Chef about environmental justice, realistic sustainability goals, and activist mental health.

The two discuss who is truly responsible for saving the planet, and how corporations across industries (like Big Food AND Big Tech) have the same tendency to divert responsibility for collective well-being.

Through social media, her blog and her book, The Zero-Waste Chef: Plant-Forward Recipes and Tips for a Sustainable Kitchen and Planet, Anne-Marie shows others how reducing their trash not only benefits the planet but also satisfies their taste buds, improves their well-being and boosts their bank accounts. A Canadian transplant, she has two grown daughters and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband and sourdough starter, Eleanor.

Based on what your social and news feeds look like, Earth month (April) can conjure up tough emotions of distress and hopelessness. What else would we expect when the dates meant to honor the earth are swallowed up by the very true messaging that we’re on course for climate disaster within our lifetime?

But, without sweeping this crisis under the rug, without forgetting the scary things, like corporations’ majority responsibility for Earth destruction, I’d like to create space to focus on the good. I want to focus on how wonderful it is to be able to love our Earth mother through small, sustainable acts of kindness, and feeling like we are enough so that we may be of better service to the outer world.
