ABSTRACT
Strong sustainability as an alternative to weak sustainability offers a radically different way to think about the human species and its relationship with the rest of the world. This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book argues for the necessity of a similar ecocentric turn with the example of how humans perceive and use energy. It presents best practices of multi-stakeholder, cooperative projects to restore the natural environment, and demonstrate that a variety of policy tools and techniques should be utilised for effective sustainable change. The book outlines the potential, in particular, in entrepreneurship that does not reduce the idea of value to market demand. It shows that innovative business organisations can develop ways to address value beyond market demand, and even address the complex issues of biodiversity in their strategy.
