Today we face a dizzying process of change —a change of era, in fact. The prevailing global economic and social trends are deepening the contradictions of a development pattern that has become unsustainable. These contradictions are undeniable, as evidenced by the unprecedented increase in global inequality in recent decades; the worsening environmental crisis, especially climate change; and the ambivalent role of the technological revolution that, while offering opportunities for sustainability, creates tensions in labour markets that are heightened as new technology becomes more widely used.
