SERAFIN-MUNOZ, Alma Hortensia et al. Axes of a multidisciplinary model for sustainable innovation: Life transition after COVID-19. Acta univ [online]. 2021, vol.31, e3099.  Epub 16-Fev-2022. ISSN 2007-9621.  https://doi.org/10.15174/au.2021.3099.

In the post COVID-19 era, the current sustainability model should be adjusted to the current life transition considering the lessons learned in this atypical era. The current sustainability model, which is composed of three axes: environment, economy, and society, seems insufficient. It should integrate the axes of health, from an environmental health perspective (not only anthropogenic), and legislation within a detailed analysis in the standardization towards a balanced trend in harmony with the environment. In addition, innovation is proposed as a transversal axis. Based on a detailed analysis of more than 400 published works on sustainability, this work proposes a new conceptual model centered on a multidisciplinary perspective, analyzing and integrating each of the proposed axes. This conceptual model represents a strategic correlation between each axis towards a sense of globalized benefit and an environmentally-friendly life transition, hence, respecting the health of the planet.
