Mission Statement
The multiple crises of our time, such as human-induced climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion and regional inequalities, call for profound changes in innovation patterns and socio-economic structures and practices.
At the core of our research and teaching lies the critical examination of how socio-economic, ecological, and technological transitions towards sustainability unfold spatially, and the ways in which such shifts can be guided by strategies and policies that prioritise environmental sustainability and social justice.
By addressing the spatial relationships, societal and policy dynamics that underpin the uneven geographies of transitions, we contribute to a better understanding of equitable and resilient pathways for a sustainable future and create policy impact in an era of grand societal challenges.
The working group publishes two working paper series:
