This trial lecture was a profound exploration of Dr. Merlina Missimer´s invaluable contributions to the field, dating back to her PhD dissertation on "Social Sustainability within the Framework for Strategic Sustainable Development."
Merlina delved into various topics, including the intricate process of implementing social sustainability initiatives in corporate and municipal settings, her significant work in enhancing leadership capabilities for sustainability, and the essential knowledge she's gained about crafting learning designs that empower individuals to work strategically towards sustainability in these contexts. You could not attend the lecture or want to watch it again? Here is the recorded version for you, enjoy! |
“There are unexpected possibilities that await in another order of parallel approaches. There is a territory of communication, relationships and daily living that allows for a total change — it is within reach, but not in the solutions currently being reached for.” - Nora Bateson
On 10 May the MSLS Programme invited Anders Wijkman to speak at the Blekinge Institute of Technology in Karlskrona. Anders, a Swedish opinion leader, author and regular guest speaker at MSLS, presented and discussed ”Earth4All” - a report that is launched in summer 2022, partly as a 50-year follow-up to the Limits to Growth.
”Earth4All" is an international initiative, supported by the Club of Rome, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Studies, Stockholm Resilience Center and the Norwegian Business School. The purpose is to accelerate the systems-changes we need for an equitable future on a finite planet. For those of you who could not join us, watch the recording below!

In a world with increasingly big challenges such as climate change, water scarcity, migration, poverty and general divisions between people, it is vital we come together to make sense of and address them. We face these challenges as individuals, citizens of the Earth, and as communities and organisations. Engaging and energizing ourselves at these different levels requires skills in dialogue, working in complex systems, and helping the whole be more than the sum of its parts. This is why we called the 10th Art of Hosting Karlskrona training with the question:
How can we build our capacity to co-create the world we want to live in as humans, communities, organisations, and citizens of Earth? What capacities are required to work with these diverse groups within a complex and rapidly changing world? What is the individual’s role and how can we empower each other? The Art of Hosting training provided us with the space for such inquiries. It gave us the necessary methods and practices to explore our individual and collective roles in the world through meaningful conversations. |
“Will there be enough leaders in time?” It is this simple yet powerful question that Dr. Göran Broman and Dr. Karl-Henrik Robèrt put out in the world in 2004 and lies at the core of MSLS.
Over the years more than 700 of us - sustainability leaders from 86 countries - have said yes to this invitation to embark on a journey of transformation on the beautiful archipelago of Karlskrona. And now it´s time to come home! Our intention for the reunion was to renew and strengthen the sense of our community - to celebrate life and the work we do in the world. |
