Gemeinwohl-Ökonomie | Economy for the common good
#MoveTheDate Solutions
Personal / Community: Community project
Cities sub-categories: Legislation, regulation, mandate
Description: We need a transformation of the economic model, i.e. success must not be measured in money and financial profits but in what companies, organisations, municipalities, countries contribute to the common good. And a substantial part of the common good is to preserve the planet for us, our children and grandchildren. The legal and financial framework has to be set as such that those who act for the benefit of the people and the planet gain competitive advantages compared to those harming people and planet. The Economy of Common Good (ECG) demands that companies/organisations have to primarily publish a so-called common good balance sheet and report, in addition to their financial balance sheet. It does not focus on the ecological aspect only but also on human dignity (incl. fair working conditions), solidarity and social justice as well as transparency and co-determination. Also municipalities and finally nations would set up such a Common Good Balance Sheet or Index, so we would look at Gross national Common Good Product instead of Gross National Income. We need your voice and support to change the system. Or as F4F says "System Change not Climate Change"

Why I love this solution: The ECG has the high potential to cure the real cause of your climate crisis but also other crisis and not only tackles the symptoms. It is a holistic approach which puts people and planet before profit. This is also helps achieving the SDGs.
