Understanding the big picture of our surroundings is becoming increasingly important. In fact, being able to see the big picture clearly gives people a true power to act for better change.
The overall vision mentality outlines the context in which people operate and allows them to uphold the decisive values for our society.
The greater the definition of the overall vision, the greater the connection with those around us and with whom we share the business, and the less likely they are to encounter a dynamic “we against them”.
In everyday reality this story means that if an individual can understand his role in the realization of any endeavour, this allows him to act proactively rather than simply carrying out his task.
In short, whenever we have a clear view of the big picture, as well as a big picture mindset, our ability to add value increases exponentially.
The concept of a sustainable society has existed for decades. According to a 1981 definition, it is the type of company that can satisfy its needs without diminishing the chances of future generations.
In a sustainable society citizens are given every opportunity to grow and thrive and at the same time future resources are preserved and protected.
Over time, this concept has evolved to include a wide range of social and environmental issues from which sustainable society can be represented as Venn Diagram.
From the intersection of three main factors, such as Environment, Economic and Social we can get a clear look at the Sustainable Society concept.
The three factors of Sustainable Society are represented by the Sustainable Society Index (SSI) as the three wellbeing dimensions: Human, Environmental and Economic.
While the first two dimensions are results to be achieved, the third one is a necessity toward full sustainability.
Climate change, deforestation, plastics and more are all threats to our future. Unless we let things get worse, we have to face these problems now.
The environment is more than a goal, it is a battle that will require constant commitment, continuous dedication. A responsibility of part of everyone.
Widening disparities in pay, gender, health and job is undermining trust in democracy.
Adding to this the pressure exerted on the middle class, in particular the younger generations, with stagnant wages and inaccessible house prices, finding a keystone is critical.
Education is the basis for building valuable human capital, the way to ensure a better future.
But several causes, such as rapid technological changes, inequality in opportunities, the financial burdens of universities and more, have thrown the education system into a profound crisis.
Ultimately, sustainable society is not a final destination to be reached within a certain period of time. Sustainable society is rather a path, which we must continue to travel incessantly and which, from time to time, may also change direction. But what does a 21st century sustainable society look like?
Non-polluting, renewable resources provide the power to drive sustainable energy systems; more efficient farming techniques and new technologies improve yields.
