Abstract There is a prima facie argument that those who are affected by a decision should have a say in that decision. In terms of intergenerational equity, as well as regarding the evolution and implementation of Transition Pathway Management agendas, this should coercively include young people. In general, their opinions do not have any platform, forum, etc., thus they are ignored and not pursued, as experts and specialists in relevant fields, often for good reasons, develop Transition Strategies. Given the socio-cultural context, approach to technology etc., 10 to 12-year-old people are likely to have very different notions of their specific future, and the way sustainability is evolving within this. This opens up the distinct possibility that (older) experts devise and shape transition pathways that hopefully deliver greater sustainability and less carbon-intensive lifestyles, but do so in a governance void and in a direction that those who are destined to live (in) these futures find it difficult to loosen – or at least share – the control over those processes. In short, not involving young people in the evolvement of Transition Pathways and their Management (TPaM) risks a governance deficit as well as an implementation challenge. To understand how young people, conceptualise their future within the wider theoretical framework of TPaM and the role of CSR in promoting sustainable lifestyles, 105 Swiss pupils, living in a quite good situated (i.e., geographically as well as financially), at ages between 10 and 12 were asked to write an essay about their future visions. The paper outlines these visions, the pupils’ perception of the future, and evaluates the adopted solutions (i.e. pathways) by qualitative analyses. Moreover, the identified TPaM are discussed in several follow-up workshops with the pupils at the age of 12 regarding their implications for the private and public sectors, notably affecting behaviours of e.g., energy and food consumption, mobility, educational systems, family set-ups, etc. Contrary to perceptions about the fully connected lifestyles of modern pupils, the results show for instance, their worries or even apprehensibility about the rapid pace of technological change. Thus, they fear isolation and “not being able to keep up”. Following this, creative educational concepts that foster the evolvement of TPaM, the identification of innovative new measures and practical implications are key drivers. They establish legitimacy so to discuss potential TPaM at several political and private levels. Further, they build an integrated part to engage young people (and experts) in the development of suitable pathways towards the attainment of their visions. This involves a viable theoretical framework that is strong and deeply anchored and, to some extent, a convergence between pathway components as well as hands-on drivers to induce change processes. Based on this framework's practical step-by-step-approach it is able – independent from whether the very beginning are future visions or the status quo – to avoid barriers or hindering preconditions, only because vision is the multi-level perspective. Such an approach might allow also a comparison of different pathways.

创意教育和政治制度对可持续商业态度的共同影响

摘要 有一种初步证据表明，受决策影响的人应该在该决策中拥有发言权。在代际公平以及过渡途径管理议程的演变和实施方面，这应该强制包括年轻人。总的来说，他们的意见没有任何平台、论坛等，因此被忽视和追捧，作为相关领域的专家和专家，往往有充分的理由制定转型战略。考虑到社会文化背景、技术方法等，10 到 12 岁的人可能对他们特定的未来有非常不同的看法，可持续发展的方式也在其中发展。这开辟了一个明显的可能性，即（年长的）专家设计和塑造转型路径，希望提供更大的可持续性和更少的碳密集型生活方式，但这样做是在治理空白和那些注定要生活（在）这些的方向上期货公司发现很难放松——或者至少分享——对这些流程的控制。简而言之，如果不让年轻人参与转型路径及其管理 (TPaM) 的演变，就会面临治理缺陷和实施挑战的风险。为了了解年轻人如何在更广泛的 TPaM 理论框架内概念化他们的未来以及企业社会责任在促进可持续生活方式中的作用，105 名瑞士学生，他们生活在一个非常好的环境（即，地理上和经济上），10 到 12 岁的孩子被要求写一篇关于他们未来愿景的文章。本文概述了这些愿景、学生对未来的看法，并通过定性分析评估了所采用的解决方案（即途径）。此外，已确定的 TPaM 在与 12 岁学生的几个后续研讨会中讨论，讨论它们对私营和公共部门的影响，特别是影响能源和食品消费、流动性、教育系统、家庭环境等行为。与对现代学生完全互联的生活方式的看法相反，结果显示，例如，他们对技术变革的快速步伐感到担忧甚至担忧。因此，他们害怕孤立和“跟不上”。在此之后，促进 TPaM 发展的创造性教育概念，确定创新的新措施和实际影响是关键驱动因素。他们确立了合法性，以便在多个政治和私人层面讨论潜在的 TPaM。此外，他们建立了一个综合部分，让年轻人（和专家）参与制定实现其愿景的合适途径。这涉及一个可行的理论框架，该框架强大且根深蒂固，并且在某种程度上，路径组件之间的融合以及引发变革过程的实际驱动因素。基于该框架的实用逐步方法，它能够——独立于一开始是未来愿景还是现状——避免障碍或阻碍先决条件，只因为愿景是多层次的视角。
