dc.descriptionIf humanity is to live on this beautiful planet of ours indefinitely, we must design and innovate within the next generation or so, the means of creating a sustainable society, and we must complete a mis- sion to realise it. This in turn requires that we envision, design and create sustainable prosperity, which involves the simultaneous advancement of four forms of prosperity: economic, ecological, social and cultural. To create a sustainable society we must be able to imagine it, model it and understand how it would behave. We cannot work to create a future that we do not first imagine, and we must be able also to imagine how it would work through the creation of appropriate metaphors and models. We must also be able to measure our progress towards the realisation of a sustainable society through the creation of appropriate indicators and assessment processes. Finally we must innovate many new products, services and technologies to market to the world’s peoples to provide the tools that would enable them to make this heroic transformation on the ground.-
