THE SUSTAINABLE UTOPIA

 

The meeting was inspired by the book “The Sustainable Utopia” by Enrico Giovannini – among the speakers of the conference together with Maurizio Ferrera and Giuliano Pisapia – and proposed a reflection on the current development model and on ways to achieve the objectives of the 2030 Agenda set by the UN.

 
 
 
 


 
 
The author states that “To build a better future we need a utopia. A sustainable utopia … Hunger, health, water, poverty, energy, infrastructure, employment, inequality, climate, peace, education are issues that can be taken care of only by integrated thinking and the involvement of political, economic and social forces.
 

Continuing to think and act the same way we have in the past means to plunge our world into a profound environmental, economic and social crisis. Everyone’s commitment and a profound change in the way we phrase and approach problems is needed.”

 

What are the requirements and goals of a sustainable utopia? Technology, governance and a change of mentality, as Giovannini suggests, will these be the strategic levers for development?
