How to create political will for change? Contact:

In a conservative political economy… … progressive policy initiatives often fail to be implemented. Status quo alliance Discourse: Paradigm, Narrative, Metaphysical Political economy Institutions, rules and norms Progressive Policy Initiatives Contact:

National SecurityDevelopment Paradigm: Policy: StopGo Contact: The strategic trap: In a hegemonic situation, policies can not be changed… … if paradigms stay the same

EXCLUSIVE SOCIETY WITH PRIVILEGES FOR THE ELITES GOOD SOCIETY WITH FULL CAPABILITIES FOR ALL So why don’t we simply change the paradigm? Change is not the outcome of a struggle between those who seek to uphold the status quo and those who want change Contact:

So we need a broad societal change alliance… … why does such a Rainbow Coalition not emerge? The Rainbow Coalition

The isolation trap: Those who want change are tribalized into small movements with different interests and diverging priorities… … scaling up these isolated struggles into a broad societal alliance is a hard-to-solve collective action problem Contact:

The technical trap Decision-makers change quickly and have vested interests … Technical Solution Political Process Policy Implementation Contact: Technocrats and academics who fail to give politically viable policy options will be sidelined in the political process

Paradigm shift Redefinition of expectations + interests Policy shift Excess imagination Change narrative Practical vision Status quo scenario Strategic Approach: The political ground for policy changes needs to be prepared… … on the paradigm level. Contact:

To generate political clout for the struggle over the paradigm shift… … a comprehensive strategy is needed which combines actors, ideas and resources Change Narrative Political Will Policy Implementation Guide Policy Making Level Political Playing Field Reform Compass Frame Thinking and Attitudes Change Political Calculation Build Political Muscle Model Good Society with full capabilities for all Change alliance Contact: Change agents

Historical Experience s. Perceptions Narratives Myths Contact: Attitudes Paradigms Social Moral Definition of Interest The medium which connects actors, ideas and resources is language: the Discourse

1970s Club of Rome at the fringe Technology- driven Growth Redistributive Social Justice Market State De-growth Contact: Growth as a problem as a solution

1980s Environmental Protection resonates with more people Market- driven Growth Redistribution Social Justice Market State De- growth Environ- mental Protection Contact: Growth as a problem as a solution

1990s Sustainability moves closer to the center Market-driven Growth Third Way Social Growth Market State De- growth Environmental Protection Sustainable Development Contact: Growth as a problem as a solution

2000s Climate change builds first bridges, but is dismissed as de-growth Market State De- growth Environmental Protection Sustainable Development Climate Change Emission Trading Market-driven growth Carbon Development Initiatives Contact: Growth as a problem as a solution Third Way Growth

2010s Green New Deal occupies the center and changes the paradigm Market State De- growth Environmental Protection Sustainable Development Climate Change Greening the Economy Green Growth Technology-driven growth Inclusive Growth Green Jobs GreenNewDeal Contact: Growth as a problem as a solution

The discourse alliance makes a Grand Rainbow coalition for change possible… … a powerful coalition which can shift resources, legislation, consumption patterns and ideology, and create momentum for change Contact: Capital : Investment opportunities Business models: decouple production from resources Geopolitics : Energy security Climate Change: Cut carbon emissions, transformation into renewables Social Inclusion : Democratize political economy, create universal access to energy

Where do we stand today?… Contact: alliance is forming, cross sector partnerships are being built. Investment funds Protestant churches Catholic Church Spanish government German government Greenpeace US government Pension Funds Rating Agencies Green Party Swedish government Italian government German Labor Federation Bank of England Social Democrats Utilities Enel Utilities E.ON Green NGOs

By changing the interpretation, expectation and definition of interests of actors… … the new paradigm discourse shifts resources and policies In 2015, electricity from solar first time cheaper than all other energy sources Bank of England / German government warn against “carbon bubble” Fossil industry stocks lose AAA ratings Pension Funds (largest investors in the world) shift portfolios G7 pledges end of carbon economy Germany is phasing out nuclear energy, legislates energy transformation Spain, Italy, Sweden and Portugal start to wind down coal Changing business plans: Utitilies giants E.On (Germany) and Enel (Italy) sell all conventional power plants. Enel partners with Greenpeace — which has previously been deeply critical of Enel's carbon footprint. Vattenfall (Sweden) sells all conventional plants in Germany. RWE and EnBW (Germany) announced that they are thinking of shifting their energy generation towards renewable. Contact:
