The big question: What can we do today and in the future to create a world in which sustainability is the new normal?
“I think we have seen a very successful transition to renewable energies in recent years, which has exceeded expectations. Now there is strong resistance from non-renewable energies and right-wing parties to reverse course. I think we need to be courageous and stay the course, and not let ourselves be easily silenced as people, as citizens and in our work. I think this attitude applies to all areas of sustainability. It is often a struggle and not a smooth transition.”
– Nikola B.
“I’ll keep it simple and blatantly steal the CSCP organisational description: think and do!!! Thinking isn’t a bad trait anyway – and with “doing”, it also gains an action component that is urgently needed. Add to that another core aspect of CSCP: continuous collaboration with organisations and people who are willing to change. Unfortunately, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Two final important components: patience and persistence. And please don’t forget at the end: (try to) have fun!”
– Patrik E. (translated from German)
“We can make sustainability the new normal by being unflinchingly open, clear and compassionate in exposing people to the truth about the consequences of how we live and do business. At the same time, we need to find a new, big, positive narrative that shows people it is not only worthwhile but also possible to live well—fulfilled and together—within planetary boundaries.”
– Marc B. (translated from German)
“We place the topic of sustainability in an artistic context in order to engage in dialogue with people who would not otherwise concern themselves with the issue.”
– Martin R., 49, Wuppertal Symphony Orchestra / Orchestra of Change e.V. (translated from German)
“A world in which sustainability is a matter of course begins with education, conscious consumer choices and clear political frameworks. In terms of marine litter prevention, this means that products must be designed to be reusable or fully recyclable, packaging must be reduced, and single-use plastics must be consistently avoided. At the same time, global cooperation, investment in innovative materials, and effective waste management are needed to ensure that sustainable behaviour becomes the norm, not the exception.”
– Lena Mai L. (translated from German)
