我们如何改变世界?
跨社会可持续性转变之可能
How do we change the world? 
Making sense of sustainability transformations across societies.


 
The concept of transformation is increasingly employed in science and policy debates. The surge in appeals for societal transformations to sustainability is reflected in United Nations 2030 Agenda’s tag line “transforming our world” and the recent IPCC 1.5°C report. Transformative change in societies across the world is needed to address the enormous societal challenges of rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and safeguarding the environment while increasing energy access, eradicating poverty and securing food and health for allNonetheless, in science and policy debates, decisive questions of what is to be transformed, by whom, and to what extent transformation can be governed tend to remain largely unarticulated and unclear. Upon scrutiny, the expectations concerning transformation vary significantly within and across societies. Drawing on a book soon to be published by Cambridge University Press, the talk will discuss transformation is made sense of in international politics, in countries contribution to the Paris agreement and the 2030 agenda, as well as among lay people in Cabo Verde, China, Fiji, USA, and Sweden, as well as historical examples. It will present what type of change is foreseen by different calls for societal transformations, how it may be governed, and what can be drivers of deliberate transformations.
