Hur mycket är lagom?
En diskussion kring globala utmaningar och vår livsstil

Onsdag 28 mars, 18.00
ABF-huset, Sveavägen 41, Stockholm

Göran Bäckstrand, svensk diplomat som arbetat vid flera svenska ambassader, Sekretariatet för Framtidsstudier och Röda korset både i Sverige och internationellt.

Lars Ingelstam, civilingenjör, professor i matematik, professor emeritus i teknik och social förändring vid Linköpings universitet. Tidigare chef för Sekretariatet för Framtidsstudier.

1975 skrev Bäckstrand och Ingelstam en uppsats där de föreslog en rejäl reducering av svensk konsumtion för att bidra till en mer jämlik fördelning av världens resurser. Deras tes kom att livligt debatteras. Drygt 30 år senare ställer de sig frågan hur 1975 års vision ter sig idag. Deras slutsats är att en mer jämlik värld kräver en livsstilsförändring hos oss – en förändring som de också tror skulle leda till ett kvalitativt bättre och lyckligare samhälle.

Dag Hammarskjöldfondens projekt What Next? söker identifiera och analysera kommande globala utmaningar och utforska strategier för social förändring. Projektet som utförs i nära samarbete med ett stort antal akademiker och aktivister världen över, bygger på fondens arbete under tre decennier kring alternativa utvecklingsperspektiv.

what nextBäckstrands och Ingelstams uppföljande artikel Enough!: Global challenges and responsible lifestyles ingår i den första What Next-publikationen ‘Setting the Context’ som kommer att delas ut under kvällen och också finns tillgänglig för nedladdning på www.dhf.uu.se.
