The global climate crisis requires us to develop new understandings of how we want to live, work, consume and build in the future.

In the 21st century the world population faces unprecedented planetary challenges – in this context, the planetary boundaries model, which shows the ecological stress limits of our earth systems, can be understood as the guiding framework needed for future transformation processes. For a post-fossil world that provides a healthy and happy livelihood for many people and living beings, a new vision is needed. The question ‘How do we manage the transition?’ is inevitably accompanied by the question ‘What will this world look like?’ The forthcoming sbe22 berlin conference will be a unique opportunity to provide a platform for integrative and transdisciplinary collaboration and exchange between science, politics, industry and civil society which is needed to meet this challenge.
