Societies in Transition, Crises of Earth
European societies are confronted by multiple crises. The manifestations of crises such as social inequalities, climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, geo-political fragmentation or the continuing loss of nature may vary, but they are connected at the root: unsustainable development patterns.
This thematic priority brings together expertise from across CIVICA to examine interlocking crises of the Earth through the lens of societal transitions, recognising the need for integrated solutions based on integrated diagnoses.
Key topics
- Societal dimensions of the Earth system and sustainability
- Global Sustainable Development Goals
- Knowledge and assessment systems regarding the environment and development
- Urban transformations
Seminar series
In regular seminars open to anyone interested, experts from CIVICA and beyond explore topics in the current public debate.
