Socio-ecological Transition. WWWforEurope Working Paper No. 40
WWWforEurope: Welfare, Wealth and Work for Europe, September 2013, 77 Seiten
The WWWforEurope project's central goals are to identify the forces and challenges necessitating deliberations on a new growth
path, to define socio-ecological transition, key actors and main obstacles, and to find out how the process of a socio-ecological
transition can be initiated, monitored, and accelerated on an institutional level (EU, national and regional level). The paper
focuses on the concepts of sustainability, growth, innovation, welfare and well-being, wealth and work. We also look at the
various dimensions and definitions of transition and transformation which can be found in the literature, trying to concretise
the concept of a socio-ecological transition forming the context and starting point of the WWWforEurope project.
