Hurray - our new book is out!

We are in the midst of a watershed moment regarding the need for sustainable transformation. Technology, and artificial intelligence in particular, can prove pivotal in our efforts to solve the sustainability puzzle. However, there is a significant gap between the sustainability and tech sectors, resulting in inefficiencies, missed opportunities and escalating risks for both people and the planet. Aligning these sectors’ goals and impact measures is the key to a sustainable future for all of us.
Authored by a diverse team of experts – global sustainability specialist Alice Schmidt, the impact-driven entrepreneur Claudia Winkler, AI expert Florian Schuetz and the life scientist Jeroen Dobbelaere – Fast Forward bridges the divide between sustainability and technology while tackling the important questions posed by individuals, organisations and societies worldwide since ChatGPT’s public release. Offering a variety of current real-life examples, the authors make a compelling case for the imperative of ethical and responsible AI. They highlight how these principles are instrumental in harnessing AI’s transformative capacity to revolutionize our approach to sustainability and create health, wealth, and well-being for all. |
It's all part of solving the sustainability puzzle
In their first book "The Sustainability Puzzle", Alice Schmidt and Claudia Winkler explore how looking at the bigger picture first before zooming in on climate action, circularity and social transformation can improve health, wealth and wellbeing for all.
The multiple crises of the past few years have drawn attention to the complexity and importance of the challenges humanity is facing. We’ve reached a turning point, and the stakes are high. Will we succeed in halting climate change and biodiversity loss, and in finally securing health, wealth and wellbeing for all? Or will we continue to dig our collective grave by producing and consuming more and more goods while wasting and polluting as if there were no tomorrow? |
