The document discusses the "Small, Local, Open, Connected" scenario for sustainability. It proposes a vision of distributed systems where the global is made up of interconnecting local systems. These local systems are small in scale, flexible, and highly context-related. They are organized into networks to form resilient, adaptable, and participatory production and economic systems. The scenario is driven by risk management, balanced economy and ecology, and democratic and equitable values. It catalyzes diffuse creativity and social innovation through design approaches.
