It is our pleasure to welcome you to Stockholm for the Transformations2015 conference! Transformations2015 focuses on transformations towards sustainability: the challenge of solving problems in the Anthropocene and creating conditions for good lives for people, today and in the future, while strengthening Earth’s life support system. The aim of the conference is to build a better understanding of large-scale systemic changes and fundamental redirections in people-planet relationships that can have an impact at scales that match the challenges of the Anthropocene, in both developed and developing country contexts.
Increasing the understanding of such change requires collaboration across academic disciplines. We want the conference to be an interactive space that gathers leading international scientists, from different academic disciplines, across natural and social sciences, humanities, economics, and technology development, to exchange experiences, share analytical approaches, and discuss insights on transformative change. The discussions will be focusing on questions such as – How do transformation processes unfold in different types of systems? Under which conditions can new ideas, experiments and initiatives have large-scale, systemic impacts? What is the role of individual agency and networks in driving transformative processes? How do new types of research methods approaches for studying sustainability transformations differ from current modes of research?
