Title: Call for Papers - Sustainable Innovation 2019 Road To 2030: Sustainability, Business Models, Innovation and Design

Deadline: 2^nd March 2019

Concept

Sustainable Innovation 2019 will include invited and refereed papers from academics, consultants, entrepreneurs, technology providers, designers, and innovation and sustainability directors.

Background

By 2030, the world will be a different place, reacting and responding to a number of mega trends. Thomas L. Friedman in his book “Thank You for Being Late: An Optimist's Guide to thriving in the Age of Accelerations” highlights that the planet's three largest forces - Moore's law (technology), the market (globalisation) and Mother Nature (climate change and biodiversity loss) - are now accelerating all at the same time (Friedman, 2016). More broadly PWC described five mega trends: urbanisation; climate change and resource scarcity; shifts in global economic power, demographic and social change; and technological breakthroughs (PWC, 2017)
