Lecture and Discussion

Jürgen Kopfmüller (ITAS) presents the Integrative Concept of Sustainable Development (IKoNE), which was developed in the early 2000s as a scientifically grounded sustainability concept and an alternative to other concepts existing at the time. The presentation focuses on the motivation, core idea, and architecture of IKoNE, its positioning within key controversies of the conceptual sustainability debate, a comparison with the SDGs, and fundamental aspects of valid sustainability analyses and assessments.

Anna König and Volker Stelzer (ITAS/KAT) provide brief insights into the practical application of the concept: They present a tool for assessing the sustainability of municipal measures based on IKoNE, as well as a "best practice" seminar that illustrates the use of IKoNE in higher education teaching.
