International top-decision-makers call for a scientific synthesis to make more optimal international decisions. A first step was the recognition that 3P Management by People, Planet and Prosperity can cover all 17 UN goals for sustainable development (UNSG). The next step is a socio-economic synthesis of economic behavior (SE) that must cover: Individual economic behavior as synthesized by Neuroeconomic Psychology (NeP) Collective interventions across 3P as prioritized by the Formula on Universal Technology Assessment (UTA) with QALY (Quality-Adjusted Life Years) as Outcome: UTA = F(People, Planet, Prosperity) QALY SE by NeP and UTA feeds the following guidelines: ● NeP guides individual economic behavior, i.e. on Creative Man, Stress-management, Sensitivity-training, Collaboration of genders and Personality biases in science. ● UTA prioritizes climate damage as the most urgent collective economic threat: The most effective political prevention of climate damages, in an internationalized economy with free international trade, is to subsidize non-fossil alternatives (ES). This contrasts the mainstream recommendation of a tariff on the polluter (ET). ● UTA recommends Universal Basic Income (UBI) to secure and equalize income The Discussion of SE focuses on alternatives, solidity of climate forecasts and dissemination.
