“…The recommendations and conclusions contained in the reports of the Club of Rome for 1972-2023 and the scenarios of world development until 2100 proposed in them were also carefully analyzed. Among the reports for the Club of Rome, the main emphasis was placed on studying the first report "The Limits to Growth" (1972) [13], two subsequent works by Donella and Dennis Meadows ("Beyond the Limits", 1992 [14] and "The Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update", 2004 [15]), the report "Taking Nature Into Account: A Report to the Club of Rome Toward a Sustainable National" (1995) [16], the Club of Rome report " Bankrupting Nature: Denying Our Planetary Boundaries " (2012) [17], "Extracted: How Mining Is Ruining the Planet " the Quest for Mineral Wealth is Plundering the Planet" (2014) [18], "Stewarding Sustainability Transformations: An Emerging Theory and Practice of SDG Implementation" (2019) [19], "Limits and Beyond: 50 years on from The Limits to Growth , what did we learn and what 's next?

The relevance of the issue is due to the intensification of global crisis phenomena in the field of ecology and social sphere, the increasing imbalance of the world economy, the insufficient scale of implementation in practical activities of environmental and social aspects of development that contribute to the sustainable growth of society. Goal of the issue is to identify how the environmental and social values of modern global sustainable development are taken into account in regulatory international and national documents, in the concepts of Industry 4.0, Industry 5.0 and Society 5.0 and how they are consistent with each other. Research methods include bibliographic analysis, comparative analysis, cliometric methods, modeling. The reports and scenarios of the Club of Rome for 1972-2023, studies of large consulting companies were used as a database. Results. The study revealed a gradual strengthening of the role and importance of environmental and social values in international documents and policies in the field of sustainable development. However, these rates are not sufficient to form favorable trends in the field of sustainable development and overcome the movement of humanity along the trajectory of the crisis. Conclusions. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that following only economic goals without an active transition to achieving environmental and social goals based on corresponding values leads humanity to climate and social crises.

Towards Degrowth? Making Peace with Mortality to Reconnect with (One's) Nature: An Ecopsychological Proposition for a Paradigm Shift

This article explores the existential conditions for a transition towards socioeconomic degrowth through an analysis of a paradigm shift between two extreme polarities of socio-ecological positioning: the Dominant Social Paradigm (DSP) and the New Ecological Paradigm (NEP). It is suggested that the transition from one to the other – understood as the first collective step towards degrowth – requires a transformation in the way we, in western capitalist society, define ourselves in relation to nature. This identity transformation corresponds with the reconnection between humans and nature that ecopsychology has been calling for since its emergence in the 1970s. However, according to recent empirical studies in existential psychology, such a transformation contains potentially disquieting aspects, since it implies recognising and accepting the idea of our own mortality. Staging a dialogue between ecopsychology and critical degrowth theories, this article argues that the necessary transition towards degrowth requires new ways of dealing with these existential fears – namely, confronting them in a ‘reflexive’ rather than ‘defensive’ way – so as to develop relationships with nature that respect the limits of the biosphere.

“…The earth has reached its limits (Biermann, 2012;Dao, Peduzzi & Friot, 2018;Wijkman, Rockström & Rockström, 2013) and it is now high time to rethink our consumption and production practices. Climate change, fresh-water depletion, deforestation, over-fishing, as well as pollution and increased rates of hunger, have helped push the sustainability debate to the forefront of scientific discussions across many disciplines.…”

Fairtrade coffee consumption in Spain: Employing dual attitudes and construal level theory to draw insights on the ethical purchasing gap

As a contribution to the debate about Fair Trade contributions to the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals, this article investigates Spanish shoppers' behaviour towards Fairtrade coffee. Although consumers generally state that they purchase fairly traded products, the market shares of most of them remain low, a phenomenon known as the ethical purchasing gap. Our review identifies a gap in extant literature to draw insights on the ethical purchasing gap, utilising two existing theories: attitudes and construal level as appropriate theoretical framework. The first theory highlights the duality of individuals' attitudes towards an object: explicit attitudes are accessible to the consumers, whereas implicit attitudes are the ones they cannot recall, but nonetheless affect behaviour. The second theory examines the influence of low-level construal (concrete, specific) or high-level construal (general) information on decision-making. A three-stage experiment took place in two sessions in a large university in Madrid in order to apply these two theories. It was based on an online survey on explicit attitudes and purchase intention, and an Implicit Association Test (IAT) to identify implicit attitudes. It was run two weeks apart to capture three points of time effects. The results reveal that, despite exposure to different stimuli, implicit attitudes remain stable along three points of time. The average difference in purchase intentions was positive for low-level construal and negative for high-level construal. Explicit attitudes were not influenced by the exposure to the stimuli. No correlation was found between purchase intentions and implicit or explicit attitudes. These findings have useful managerial implications for both Fair Trade practitioners and academics.
