The document discusses market trends in 2012 and provides a look ahead to 2013. Some key points:
- In 2012, concerns about economic, environmental and government stability increased, eroding confidence. Sustainability became more interconnected.

Cultural Fusion and Creativity: Bringing Surprising Sustainability Solutions ...Sustainable Brands
Choice editing in business is a wondrous thing – as marginal of an issue as it may sometimes appear, it often has the potential to make or break a business idea, an industry or even a whole economy. Should everything that sells be sold and, if not, where do you draw the line? While we won't go into the full ethical depths of this question, in this session we explore stories from companies that have edited products out of their product portfolio with reasons relating to responsibility and/or sustainability, as well as the long term direction of the business. The wider discussion will explore when action needs to be corporate led or consumers led, and therefore the different approaches companies can take to innovating products and services to improve its impact in society, influencing consumer behaviour or edit choice out of the market.
This document provides an executive summary of the results of a 2012 member benchmark study on sustainable innovation. It summarizes responses from over 15 major companies on their commitments and approaches to incorporating sustainability into corporate and product innovation strategies. Key findings include that over 70% have a formal corporate commitment to sustainability, while over 80% have product-level commitments. Drivers of these commitments include risk mitigation, consumer demand, and cost savings. Members are also measuring impacts of external and internal communications and using various external and proprietary research to understand consumer trends regarding sustainability.
This document discusses strategies for motivating consumer engagement in sustainability efforts through behavioral incentives and gamification. It notes that landfill waste is increasing environmental impacts and city costs. Recyclebank uses rewards and social networks to motivate recycling, increasing household recycling rates by up to 122% in similar programs. The organization aims to scale this model to motivate broader sustainable behaviors and facilitate large-scale consumer action on issues like waste, energy, water, and transportation to realize a world with less waste. Recyclebank seeks to act as cultural infrastructure that aggregates consumers and brands to drive mass market sustainability adoption through ongoing digital engagement across multiple online and mobile channels.

O documento discute arquiteturas pedagógicas para educação a distância, definindo-as como estruturas de aprendizagem baseadas na confluência de diferentes perspectivas como abordagens pedagógicas, tecnologia, educação a distância e concepções de tempo e espaço. Propõe uma "pedagogia da incerteza" que educa para a busca de soluções de problemas reais, transformação de informações em conhecimento e autonomia. Arquiteturas pedagógicas pressupõem currículos abertos e flexíveis
