    Description: This article presents an account of how deeply entrenched the neoclassical economic paradigm with its homo economicus and unlimited growth ideals has become in our societies and why this inhibits solutions for sustainable futures. Drawing on political economists like Karl Polanyi and Antonio Gramsci it also highlights how the current questioning of this paradigm and thus informed mindsets provides a renewed window of opportunity for a Great Transformation towards more sustainable futures. It reviews Transition Towns, Beyond GDP and Common Good Economies as examples of movements that lead the way in putting a new paradigm into practice.

    Description: This guidebook - developed by the Wuppertal Institute - is meant to accomplish two things: i) to provide some hands-on examples of how the transformational impact of capacity development activities can be enhanced and ii) to give some guidance on identifying which activities should be funded. Applying these guidelines will (hopefully) help to create the enabling conditions needed to increase the transformational impact of climate finance. Moreover, this guidebook should be seen as a bridge between the work of development cooperation and the global debate on transformation by giving guidance and demonstrating the practical value of this concept.

    Description: This handbook was developed in the context of a joint project of the Wuppertal Institute and the Centre for Social Investment (CSI) called the System Innovation Lab. It combined sustainability transformation research insights with those of social innovation in order to design an on-the-job training and coaching that would enable participants to take a systemic approach to innovation and test what this means in their respective work settings. Focussing on the topic of sustainable energy futures in Europe it addressed young European leaders in government, the private sector and civil society working on energy issues and combined latest theoretical insights with novel innovation and leadership methods to spread the capacity and courage that transforming entire sectors requires.

    Description: Sustainable development is the 21st Century's wicked problem. After 40 years into this agenda have reversed only few unsustainable trends we hear the call for a paradigm shift, transformation, radical change or system innovations in order to finally change course. But what does this actually mean? And how do we put it into practice? This book describes the path ahead. It combines system transformation research with political economy and change leadership insights when discussing the need for a great mindshift in how human wellbeing, economic prosperity and healthy ecosystems are understood if the Great Transformations ahead are to lead to more sustainability. It shows that history is made by purposefully acting humans and introduces transformative literacy as a key skill in leading the radical incremental change strategies that wicked problems require, illustrating their nature through mapping pioneering practices and their commonalities.
