Some keywords from the conversation:

Innovation can destroy the world.
The last decade we have added “Responsible” to innovation. We need a more fundamental shift…
Unnovation - the way to real sustainable innovation?
We can’t just optimize the systems. We need a transition away from the expansion-growth-thinking.
Do we use the word “rethink” too easy?
How should HVL get sustainability into the DNA?
What do we do with the contradictions, like flying to participate in conferences, meetings and giving presentations? Is our ecological “handprint” higher than our ecological “footprint”?
Also statistics and mathematics are important topics. For instance they enable us to understand the UN IPCC reports.
We need to make things more complicated rather than more simplified. There are no easy answers.
