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 as networks to be resilient, lean, adaptable, comprehensible and controllable. The scenario is driven by risk management, balancing economy and ecology, and empowering democracy and equity. It advocates catalyzing diffuse creativity through design for social innovation to transform sustainable solutions.
