Save the Date: IOER Conference 2024 "Space & Transformation: Living in Harmony with Nature"

What needs to be achieved in spatial development, i.e. in the planning and design of landscapes, regions, cities and neighbourhoods, so that people can live quickly and permanently in harmony with nature? – This is the question addressed by the IOER Conference 2024. Under the heading "Space & Transformation: Living in Harmony with Nature", the Leibniz Institute of Ecological Urban and Regional Development (IOER) invites scientists and practitioners to the event. The IOER Conference will take place on 26 and 27 September at the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden. The day before, the Dresden Leibniz Graduate School (DLGS) will be organising its international Summer School for PhD students on the same overarching topic.

Opening the human spirit to sustainability transformation: the potential for individual human–nature resonance and integrative rituals - Sustainability Science

Urgent calls by the younger generation and the scientific community to approach sustainability only seem to scratch the surface of individuals’ awareness while ecological destruction moves forward. In this regard, current dominant mindsets claiming a human–nature separation appear to hamper change by not granting nature dignity and her own voice. Therefore, the scientific community is inviting us to embrace Indigenous ontologies and an overall spiritual connectedness with nature in our lives. Yet, in times of crisis, it is unclear how individuals can overcome prevailing mind-action gaps—and instead turn towards sustainable caring human–nature relationships. Against this background, this conceptual paper elaborates, in a first step, individual human–nature resonance as a relational integrative framework to study psychological transformation processes and their supporting capabilities. In a second step, a ritual-based intervention is elaborated to nurture the quality of this relationship between human and nonhuman nature which is experientially enriched with insights from psychotherapy. Transdisciplinary research in the form of self-experience completes the research process. Eventually, we plead for openness in favor of adopting “lived wholeness” as a solution for sustainability transformations—of ourselves, science, and our relationship with nonhuman nature.

Imagining a sustainable Europe: four scenarios for 2050 and strategic areas for change

EU's sustainability targets by 2050 require strategic interventions. The JRC envisioned 4 scenarios and planning backward to identify necessary actions.
