Due to climate change an ecological renewal of the economic system is necessary. Arnd Küppers thinks that the German Social Market Economy could offer a blueprint. The Social Market Economy is currently not only facing the challenge to combine freedom on the market with social balance, but also to implement sustainability into this concept. In the past, the success of the Social Market Economy was based on its clear regulatory ethical compass and its regulatory political instruments. With its aim for compromise and consensus the Social Market Economy can also make a contribution to the debate about climate change.

Markus Vogt, Professor for Christian social ethics at the university of Munich and speaker of the scientific advisory board of Ordo Socials, and his research assistant Christoph Weber have written an essay on the sustainability. They explain seven different dimensions of the concept: ecological, political, ethical, socio-economic, democratic, cultural and theological. The authors say: “We do not want to offer limited definitions, but rather to stimulate a debate about rehabilitating the sustainability concept.”
