FEASTA

Feasta, the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability, envisions a safe and just space for humanity within a resilient, healthy global ecosystem. Feasta articulates and promotes the changes needed to make the necessary transition... The organisation Feasta was launched in Dublin in October 1998. The position Feasta has adopted is that many of the world's problems are caused not by bad people but by dysfunctional systems and it sees its purpose as helping to design better systems. For example, the economic system demands continual growth if it is not to collapse into a catastrophic depression, and this leaves politicians with little alternative but to pursue short-term economic growth more-or-less regardless of the damage that that pursuit might be doing to longer-term environmental and social sustainability... Feasta aims to identify the characteristics (economic, cultural and environmental) of a truly sustainable society, articulate how the necessary transition can be effected..
