Abstract
The main question of this seminar is: Deep Transition theory is focused on dynamics but not on impact on sustainability/well-being; how do we gain knowledge on quality of life in the first and second deep transition? The answer: use the CBS Monitor of Well-being as starting point for research.
We will first explain the CBS Monitor of Well-being and look at the relation with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A question of special interest is: how to apply the CBS Monitor of Well-being in historical research? We will further discuss the subject of the trade-offs and synergies: who/what benefits vs. who/what is lost and where. Finally we pose the question: how to apply the CBS monitor Well-being in relation to Deep Transitions in the Netherlands? For this we will propose four research strategies.

THE DEEP TRANSITIONS NETHERLANDS PROJECT

In the Deep Transitions in the Netherlands Project, the Eindhoven History Lab collaborates with researchers from Utrecht and Wageningen Universities to analyze the sociotechnical development of the Netherlands from a long-term perspective, and to simultaneously develop system transformation investments strategies for policy makers, industries and investors.
