Summary:

Human existence is often treated only theoretically in discussions about sustainability — as if the individual, with their unique needs and characteristics, plays only a minor role in the implementation of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To generate broad interest in the UN’s sustainability agenda among the general population, it is essential to incorporate the needs of the largest social groups into the agenda and enable their participation in achieving the SDGs. This essential explores the new dimension of “Personal Sustainable”, along with the opportunities and challenges it presents. Contents Concept and significance of the dimension “Personal Sustainability” Justice as a fundamental principle of sustainable action Safeguarding the interests of individual personalities Meaningfulness in the socio-political sustainability discourse Do sustainable goals actually work? Sustainability expectations of Generations Y and Z Target Groups Employees in organizations pursuing sustainability through innovative concepts Multipliers from society and politics who implement the UN sustainability goals in a value- and future-oriented manner The Author Alfred-Joachim Hermanni is Professor of Media Management - and Communication Development at the SRH Fernhochschule - The Mobile University, lecturer at the Landshut University of Applied Sciences and at the SPIEGEL Academy.
