SOCIO-ECOLOGICAL
TRANSITION
The World in 2025 Report:
• Current societies face major economic and social tensions
that are demanding a socio-ecological transition at global
level.
• It is important to take into account the territorial dimension
of the causes and effects of these tensions.
• It is needed to strengthen mechanisms and instruments of
territorial governance to enable a more adapted transition to
population needs in each territory.

3. We need to promote a new socio-ecological
transition in order to change
• The metabolic profile (energy use, material use),
• The infrastructure,
• The range of technologies,
• The demographic reproduction,
• The environmental impact and regulatory positive and
negative feedbacks between the socio-economic system and
the natural environment.
• But perhaps most important thing is to promote a change in
the economic and governance structures.
Social Innovation
