NHWZ 2025: Short-Termism
Time and again, we humans choose the immediate over the lasting. We hit snooze instead of attending class, optimize social media for engagement rather than well-being, and continue extracting fossil fuels instead of investing in renewables.
Today, with global challenges like economic downturns, the invasion of Ukraine, escalating tensions in the Middle East, and geopolitics shaped by authoritarian leaders, it’s easy to focus on short-term fixes. But at what cost? How often do we trade long-term stability for temporary relief, leaving future generations to deal with the consequences?
Sustainability Week 2025 invites you to explore these dilemmas with us. Through diverse events, we will reflect on how individuals, societies, and humanity as a whole navigate the tension between short-term gains and long-term well-being.
Join us in rethinking the future – one decision at a time.
