In different publics, various response options to sustainability challenges are debated, including, e.g., taxation, regulation, or consumer education. Such instruments imply different modes of sustainability transformation – and thus different understandings of “sustainability”. For better understanding the implications of alternative solution options, we first invite presentations of concrete solution options, explicating their implicit understanding of sustainability. Second, we aim to reflect on implications of the alternative solution options from (e.g., non-ideal) justice and ethics perspectives. This also includes papers on legitimate inter- and transdisciplinary deliberation about the desirability of policy alternatives. (Meta-)criteria of sustainability might evolve out of this discussion.
