As part of the sustainability lecture series "UPB for Future", a lecture by professor Dr. Falk Strotebeck from the South Westphalia University of Applied Sciences will take place on Thursday, 30 April, from 4.15 to 5.45 pm in lecture hall L1. The lecture will examine the question of how economic activity is possible in the long term on a finite planet. Based on ecological economics, it will be shown why unlimited growth reaches ecological limits and why classic prosperity indicators ignore central social and ecological aspects. Registration is not necessary.
