An ESF-COST joint foresight initiative – ESF Forward Look (www.esf.org)
Organized by The Integrated Assessment Society and
RESCUE: Responses to Environmental and Societal Challenges for our Unstable Earth
Over the past 2 years, the RESCUE foresight initiative (www.esf.org/rescue) aimed to help Europe address the societal and scientific challenges related to global environmental change. In RESCUE, the focus of attention was on people and the goal was to stimulate an integrated, innovative response from natural, social and human sciences.
The Webinars will present insights gained and steps for action identified in the RESCUE initiative, discuss implications and offer opportunities to develop partnership for collaborative action.

Sustainable Society Index
The third edition of the Sustainable Society Index,
SSI-2010 was launched by the Sustainable Society Foundation. The SSI, based on 24
indicators, comprises the three well-being dimensions of sustainability:
human, environmental and economic well-being. The SSI has been
calculated, like the previous editions, for 151 countries. With this
third edition (the previous ones were SSI-2006 and SSI-2008), cautious
comparisons can be made over time. Collectively wealth has grown, but
with little benefit to sustainability in general. The overall
sustainability index increased slightly in the past four years from 5.8
to 5.9. For more details, visit the SSI website:
