Abstract:

Designing Sustainable Prosperity (DSP) goes beyond just accessing and extracting the natural resources. It is an approach that unlocks the potential of resource-rich regions by integrating economic diversification, social well-being, and environmental sustainability. A systems design that leverages a multidisciplinary approach to co-create resilient regions and craft financially viable, environmentally responsible, and socially beneficial enterprises. This approach empowers local communities, fostering societal transformation and promoting a knowledge-based economy to meet market needs, all while aligning seamlessly with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs).
