Roundtable: What does 'Transformation(s) to Sustainability' mean today?

Thursday, 4 March at 7:30-8:30 pm IST (15h–16h CET)

 

The Transformations to Sustainability programme (a joint initiative of the International Science Council, the Belmont Forum and the NORFACE network) invites you to an in-depth discussion of some of the critical questions for research on transformations to sustainability in early 2021. Three leading scholars and practitioners – Ulrich Brand, Cheikh Mbow and Karen O'Brien – will be led by Susanne Moser in a discussion of vital questions such as:

 

·         What, if anything, is the COVID-19 pandemic teaching us about 'transformation' and 'transformative research'?

·         What are the minimum elements of a definition/conceptualization of transformation (to sustainability)? What can and should we agree on?

·         How do we recognize transformation and distinguish it from other kinds of change, particularly as it is happening?

·         When is research itself transformative?
