Sustainability, sustainable development, sustainable development goals, sustainable lifestyles and sustainable cities are terms we hear often. We are committed to living sustainably, but do we know where exactly are we headed? What will the destination look like? What is the vision of a truly sustainable world that we would like to live in? Does everyone around the world share the same vision?
Join us in imagining Society 5.0; Thriving Circular Economy; Regional/Local Circulating and Ecological Sphere; and Ecocivilisation, four visions of the future that embrace the concept of sustainability to the fullest.

"Sustainability", "sustainable development", "sustainable development goals", "sustainable lifestyles" and "sustainable cities" are terms we hear often. We are committed to living sustainably, but do we know exactly where are we headed? Where is the final destination? What is the vision of a truly sustainable world that we would like to live in? Does everyone around the world share the same vision?
