As a result, the demand for tools to identify transformative innovations, assess future risks, and support precautionary decisions for sustainability is growing by the day in business and politics. Scenarios are a means of simplification, reducing the real-world complexity to a limited number of essential factors to analyze their interactions and support policy formulation, with indicators as communication and monitoring tools. In particular, in a time of fake news and alternative truths a critical reflection amongst producers and users of scenarios and indicators is overdue; the capability for critical self-reflection is what distinguishes science from pseudo-science, and is a condition of trust. The authors of this book test established measurement and modeling approaches against new challenges, assess the weaknesses of prevailing innovation theories and the political-ideological embedment of archetypical scenarios, highlight deficits in taking the physical basics into account, and the need to understand global interaction and the stepwise process of energy transitions, point out technical as well as conceptual weaknesses in data collection, harmonization and indicator generation, always with a view to solving problems. 610 $asustainable development goals 610 $ascience-policy interface 610 $along-wave theory 610 $ascenarios 610 $atweets 610 $asustainability indicators 610 $amodels and modes of science 610 $aenvironmental innovation 610 $aenergy supply 610 $arenewable energy 610 $agross domestic product 610 $aGDP 610 $abio-economics 610 $adata needs 610 $afake news 610 $aEuropean Tourism Indicator System (ETIS) 610 $aclimate change 610 $agoals 610 $aAgenda 2030 610 $aVisit South Sardinia 610 $atourist destination 610 $aindicators 610 $amonitoring 610 $amodelling 610 $ainstitutions 610 $asustainable development 610 $agrid flexibility 610 $aglobal indicator framework 610 $amicrodata 610 $adecision-making 610 $aworld views 610 $aSDGs 610 $aGermany 610 $achallenges 610 $avalues 610 $asustainable production and consumption 610 $apolicies 610 $asustainability transition 610 $astorage 610 $astakeholders 610 $ainnovation systems 610 $asocietal impact 610 $afossil energy system 610 $amulti-level perspective 610 $ahousehold consumption 610 $abiodiversity 610 $aagency 610 $aevolutionary economics 610 $aenergy transition 610 $amaterial footprint 610 $atransformation 610 $asustainable tourism 610 $aopportunities 610 $apolicy advice 610 $ainternational inequality 610 $aresource indicator 610 $acurtailment 700 $aSpangenberg$b Joachim H$4auth$01294286 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910346845103321 996 $aScenarios and Indicators for Sustainable Development?Towards A Critical Assessment of Achievements and Challenges$93023083 997 $aUNINA
