Dr. Peter Victor, Professor and past-Dean of Environmental Studies at York University, argues that economic growth, the primary global policy objective, is unsustainable. Its long-term viability is increasingly questioned due to environmental impacts, resource scarcity, and its failure to significantly improve happiness, eliminate poverty, or create full employment.

A simulation model of the Canadian economy demonstrates that full employment, poverty eradication, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and fiscal balance are achievable without economic growth. Victor advocates shifting focus from growth to specific objectives directly related to human and planetary well-being.

Francesco Lapenta, Founding Director of JCU's Institute of Future and Innovation Studies, describes the paradox of energy-driven progress and shortsighted innovation. He argues that solving the climate crisis requires collaborative governance and socially responsible energy innovation. Developed nations, having benefited most and polluted most, must lead in sustainable energy solutions and offer equitable alternatives to developing countries.

Lapenta emphasizes that universities must cultivate leaders who understand the shared responsibility for humanity's future. The JCU Institute supports this by promoting international collaboration and transdisciplinary research on high-impact innovations, aiming for accountability and good governance.
