Some people believe that a green tax shift for the greening of industry may harm business. But on the condition that tax-shifts, or other legislative means of supporting greening, are designed in line with the FSSD it is only helpful to all organizations’ bottom lines, from the beginning and throughout the greening.

This case study is an excellent example of how to use FSSD to move towards business goals that are shown to be attractive within boundary conditions that are scientifically robust with regard to sustainability.

Listen to the discussion about Dr Karl-Henrik Robért's reflection on population growth.

A narrow focus on the growing human population goes with great risks of being based on two large misconceptions followed by counterproductive flaws as regards what to do: (i) The number of people on Earth will level out at some point soon in the near future, counting a few decades. (ii) And, counter-intuitive perhaps, an important driver to make this happen relatively sooner, rather than later, is to take care of one another everywhere and across nations. What really counts here is institutionalized care of the elderly, children, and girls in schools and higher education.

Listen to the discussion about Dr Karl-Henrik Robért's reflection on the prisoners dilemma and sustainable solutions.

The prisoner’s dilemma is an effective analogy about not being captured by what others do or think, when one’s own “high road” projects are planned. The analogy can serve as a framing of gaming models, where social training prior to the game has demonstrated improved decision making and planning. Is it useful also for decisions around sustainability planning?

Listen to the discussion about Dr Karl-Henrik Robért's reflection on the difference between the Operative System and Apps.

This reflection is about a risk when the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development (FSSD), with its Operative system ‘ABCD in Funnel’, is explained. It is about moving directly to the boundary conditions for sustainable (re-)design. Or in other words, to skipping the logic flow behind the need for such boundary conditions of an Operating System. Only when that logic is understood, the boundary conditions are called for as a “cliff-hanger”. So, when they are presented, they make the unique function of the Operative system clear, as well as its empowering of all well thought-through app’s.

Listen to the discussion about Dr Karl-Henrik Robért's reflection on Sustainable Economic Growth.

Today’s sustainability driven debate about the economic system contains four misconceptions. They create a perfect storm, where four hidden components are enmeshed into one very dangerous beast. It confuses rational conversations and misbeliefs on both sides of the debate halts the need to update economic systems into non-obsolete and more innovate ways to assist development of attractive and scalable futures.

Listen to the discussion about Dr Karl-Henrik Robért's reflection on Biofuels.

The podcast highlights the minimal energy capture by plants and the significant energy loss throughout the biofuel processing and delivery chain. Furthermore, Dr Robért contrasts biofuels with more efficient direct energy conversion methods and emphasizes the environmental and health drawbacks of internal combustion engines. While acknowledging some limited, transitional exceptions, Dr Robért strongly advocates for prioritizing electrification and renewable energy sources to avoid future "mis-investments" and to support a sustainable future for all.
