V članku izhajamo iz problematike razvojnega modela, ki povečuje ekološki odtis in ki ga v zadnjih desetletjih v EU naslavlja okoljska zakonodaja, zasnovana na najbolj sodobnih okoljskih standardih na svetu. Zaradi okoljskih politik je bil dosežen napredek pri vzpostavljanju trajnostnega zelenega gospodarstva. Kljub obetavnim sklepom in politikam pa nedavni trendi opozarjajo na upočasnitev napredka na področjih, kot so zmanjšanje emisij toplogrednih plinov, industrijskih emisij in nastajanja odpadkov ter izboljšanje energijske učinkovitosti in povečanje deleža energije iz obnovljivih virov. Pričakujemo lahko, da trenutna stopnja napredka ne bo zadostovala za izpolnitev podnebnih in energetskih ciljev do leta 2030 oziroma 2050. Zato bo treba v temeljih spreminjati sisteme, ki zadovoljujejo potrebe družbe, skupaj z globokimi spremembami v prevladujočih strukturah, praksah, tehnologijah, politikah, življenjskih stilih, mišljenju. Trajnostni prehodi vključujejo prehode v nizkoogljično, krožno ter bio- in modro gospodarstvo ter zahtevajo sistemske inovacije – celostne inovacije sistemov, ki vključujejo tako tehnološke kot socialne inovacije in paradigmatski premik v razvoju znanja in upravljanja, v inovacijah in vizijah. Sistemske rešitve ne vključujejo samo inovacij v tehnologijah in proizvodnih procesih, temveč tudi spremembe v vzorcih potrošnje in načinih življenja. Za celostni in sistemski pristop k načrtovanju in delovanju za trajnostno prihodnost pa so potrebne tudi drugačne kompetence, t. i. metakognitivne kompetence, kot so npr.: kompetenca sistemskega mišljenja, kompetenca predvidevanja, strateška kompetenca, integrirana kompetenca reševanja problemov idr.
Abstract
European Green Deal and Changes in the Environmental Paradigm: Systemic Knowledge and Integral Innovations for Sustainability Transitions, for Facing the Challenges of the 21st Century
The article discusses the issue of the development model which is increasing the ecological footprint; over the last few decades, it has been addressed by EU environmental legislation that is founded on the most recent global environmental standards. Owing to environmental policies, progress has been made in establishing a sustainable green economy. Despite the promising decisions and policies, recent trends indicate slower progress in areas such as the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, industrial emissions and waste generation, and in improving energy efficiency and increasing the share of renewable energy. It is anticipated that the current rate of progress will be insufficient to meet the climate and energy targets by 2030 or 2050. Therefore, it will be necessary to radically alter the systems which are catering to society’s needs, along with making profound changes to the dominant structures, practices, technologies, policies, lifestyles and mindsets. Sustainability transitions include transitions to a low-carbon, circular, bio- and blue economy, and require systemic innovations – integral innovations of systems, which include both technological and social innovations, and a paradigm shift in the development of knowledge and management, and in innovations and visions. Systemic solutions comprise not only innovations in technologies and production processes, but also changes in consumption patterns and lifestyles. A holistic and systemic approach to planning and working for a sustainable future requires a different set of competences, i.e. the so-called metacognitive competences, such as the competence of systemic thinking, the competence of foresight, the strategic competence, the integrated problem-solving competence, etc.
