Samenvatting

This article is about Inner Development Goals (IDGs), that were created in Sweden from 2019 as a necessary addition to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs: no more poverty, good education for all, etc.) formulated by the UN in 2015 to achieve a sustainable world by 2030. The idea behind this initiative is that in the past centuries the (dominant) western approach has been to solve the great challenges with technology, and that this direction of solution has now itself become the biggest challenge of all. We have reached the limit of how without looking at our own behaviour, so externally (technocratically) we can tackle and survive our climate and diversity problems.
