Opis

This book explains in simple but precise terms what "finance" is, and how its most innovative form, sustainable finance, can reconcile the well-being of mankind with the capacities of our planet. Bad news about climate change, shrinking resources, species extinction and growing inequalities cause consternation and insecurity for many people. Is there a way to convince society that a fundamental societal transition is necessary, even more: that it is possible? Can sustainable finance help? Financing Our Common Future invites you to enjoy a journey through multitude situations, to question our preconceptions and to open our mindset to a deeper thought. Ruedi Baur examines concrete design questions in social contexts, fundamentally oriented toward the development of an accountable design approach. He specializes in the design of public spaces and has developed internationally recognized projects with Integral Ruedi Baur et Associes. He is a professor at the School of Art and Design, HEAD - Geneve, the Ecole nationale superieure des Arts Decoratifs, Paris (ENSAD) and the University Strasbourg.
