After a definition of sustainability the status quo is described, which shows the need for transformation. Then the example of climate change illustrates how urgently needed, important, and demanding sustainable solutions are. The following section focuses on businesses as one particular group of players; it explains how they can meet sustainability requirements and which economic models go with them.

Nach einer Definition des Begriffs Nachhaltigkeit wird der Ist-Zustand beschrieben; dies lässt den Veränderungsbedarf erkennen. Anschließend wird am Beispiel des Klimawandels verdeutlicht, wie dringend, wichtig und anspruchsvoll nachhaltige Lösungen sind. Die folgenden Abschnitte konzentrieren sich auf zwei Gruppen von Akteuren, die Unternehmen und die Wissenschaft; es werden Hinweise gegeben, wie Unternehmen den Nachhaltigkeitsanforderungen entsprechen, welche Wirtschaftsmodelle dazu passen und wie Forschung und Bildung beitragen können.

EOM was triggered by the idea to regard planet Earth as a business (PEaaB). Millions of business managers were enthused by this idea and have utilized their knowledge and power to achieve PEaaB´s vision: “Humans live their lives with dignity – now and for all generations to come.” The paper reminds of the reasons for PEaaB, its basic characteristics, and key issues from a business management perspective. Then it gives a brief insight into the startup phase of PEaaB and illustrates how it has contributed to climate protection until 2051. The conclusion gets back to the beginning of the 2020s and reflects on this fictional science development review.
