The visionary reflection titled "The Year 2026 is Coming!!!" serves as a profound call to action for a collective spiritual and institutional evolution. Dr. Alfredo Sfeir-Younis articulates a global imperative for "Inter-Being," urging humanity to transcend physical and mental frontiers to manage our planetary commons—such as climate stability and biodiversity—through a new social doctrine. By advocating for a shift from personal consumption to collective well-being, Sfeir-Younis frames the upcoming year as a critical turning point for protecting creation and eliminating systemic suffering. This discourse reaffirms that the path to a sustainable future requires not only structural changes in global organizations but also a deep, inner collective transformation rooted in compassion and solidarity.

Greens in Chile and in Europe: It is the Same Struggle

In this insightful talk, Dr. Alfredo Sfeir Younis (former Chilean presidential candidate) discusses the necessary paradigm shift toward global sustainability and environmental justice, emphasizing the shared struggles between Chile and Europe. Dr. Sfeir Younis argues that sustainable development must be the governing principle to which all economic, social, and political policies must adjust, insisting this is the only option we have. Key points include the need to move from simple competitiveness to eco-competitiveness, which requires internalizing the abatement cost (cleanup cost) of environmental destruction. Crucially, he stresses that we cannot allow the benefits received in one region to come at the expense of environmental or social destruction somewhere else, directly challenging the notion of a "green economy" built on a "dirty economy." He concludes that a strong fiscal policy is central to the future of sustainability, while citizenship demands active participation in both government and market decisions.

#GlobalSustainability #sustainability

"Operationalising #PositiveTippingPoints towards #GlobalSustainability", Lenton+2022 [1] makes the very interesting point that not only do there exist likely tipping points that are expected to make the #ClimateEmergency worse, but our social-civilisational system also has tipping points that can make things *better*!

Don't worry about the #jargonalisationismistical first word of the title - remove it and the meaning will be clearer :).
