The scenarios in this Window focus on creative solutions for sustainable living, emerging economic ecosystems, and alternative business models. Their common aim is to foster sustainable and bioeconomy-based local economic transitions. Small and remote places are “by nature” environmentally friendlier than cities for their demographics, lifestyles, rituals, and traditions. Building self-resilient communities requires preserving biodiversity and creating and relying on renewable energy and transportation systems. Thus, small and remote places can be considered the perfect settings for testing new strategies for environmentally sustainable living.
