Reshaping Development for Energy Sustainability in Permacrisis

The paper presents the transitions between different levels of the metacrisis (permacrisis, policrisis) identified, the main strategy in this context being to discover the possible “black swan” of energy, resource technologies, or solutions and to break the vicious circle of staying at the lower level of development which deters the creation of the right dynamic equilibrium, with real sustainability at all levels, in dynamic local and global processes. A new transdisciplinary pattern for permacrisis is introduced, with energy becoming a very important part of the problem. The M.E.N. energetic concept assures the integration of the circular economy in the global necessary model for a new sustainable economy, with a lot of risks, threats, and disasters, in a continuously changing way. It is important to keep reaching certain goals of the sustainable development ideology, but at the same time to create the desirable right dynamic equilibrium in the context of permacrisis aimed to provide up-to-date solutions to the environment, society, and economy problems as an ENSEC integrative transdisciplinary model. Some of the possible solutions for the searched “holy grail” of energy are also presented.
