A: How to involve society to accelerate your sustainability transition

The world is facing a polycrisis and climate tipping points. Transition to a steady state planet is urgent, but progress is way too slow. How to break this pattern? In short: by synergy beyond what is possible today, by equality-based coordination between all parties involved.

This workshop offers new insights in collective transition leadership and new action perspectives for leaders. Together, we’ll do a role play on multiple, facilitated round tables. Our case is radical acceleration of wind and hydrogen technologies in the North Sea area. We’ll explore how the model works out for agenda-setting and transition project matchmaking. Key factors such as international collaboration, labour markets, global finance, geopolitical safety, environmental protection, citizen involvement and niche industries come into play.

Your takeaway will be an understanding of benefits and pitfalls of the task-democratic method, as well as manageable action perspectives on upscaling and accelerating sustainable transitions and the innovative power of your industry, your sector or your territory. Extra option: join a new community of practice.
