Inner transformation to sustainability as a deep leverage point: fostering new avenues for change through dialogue and reflection
Open accessAbstract
Abstract This article provides a rationale for inner transformation as a key and hitherto underresearched dimension of sustainability transformations. Inner transformation relates to various aspects of human existence and interactions such as consciousness, mindsets, values, worldviews, beliefs, spirituality and human–nature connectedness. The article draws on Meadows’ leverage points approach, as places to intervene in a system, to reveal the relevance of inner transformation for system change towards sustainability. Based on insights from a series of dialogue and reflection workshops and a literature review, this article provides three important contributions to sustainability transformations research: first, it increases our conceptual understanding of inner transformation and its relevance for sustainability; second, it outlines concrete elements of the inner transformation-sustainability nexus in relation to leverage points; and third, it presents practical examples illustrating how to work with leverage points for supporting inner transformation. In sum, the paper develops a systematized and structured approach to understanding inner transformation, including the identification of deep, i.e., highly influential, leverage points. In addition, it critically discusses the often contentious and divergent perspectives on inner transformation and shows related practical challenges. Finally, current developments in inner transformation research as well as further research needs are identified.

The inner development goals are now seen as essential for making progress on the sustainable development goals.
“Vagal function may provide an appropriate target for objectively measuring the impacts of a wide range of interventions to support connections to self, others and nature, laying the foundations for transformation of the self and progress on the “inner development goals” which are now seen as essential for making progress on the “sustainable development goals” (Wamsler and Brink, 2018; Woiwode et”

In “Inner transformation and its relevance for sustainability” (page unavailable), the paper reports that several participants considered addressing inner dimensions necessary for fundamental change towards sustainability. It does not identify the “inner development goals” as a specific set of goals or establish that achieving them is essential to progress on the Sustainable Development Goals; its mention of the SDGs is separate.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
