Deep Change. Cultural Foundations for a Desirable Future

Discussion of the key points of the new Interconnected Disaster Risks Report of the United Nations University

With
Zita Sebesvari, Institute for Environment and Human Security (UNU-EHS), United Nations University and other guests
Moderation: Sven Sappelt, Studio Bonn

How do we deal with the bad news about climate change, environmental pollution and species extinction? We have known about the major crises of the present for a long time, and yet the impression that far too little is changing prevails. This can be discouraging at a time when confidence and the will to change are needed.

This is precisely where the latest issue of the United Nations University's flagship publication comes in: Entitled Turning Over a New Leaf, the report explores how feelings of paralysis can be replaced by positive future scenarios that encourage us to play an active role in realizing a better future. To this end, it identifies five urgently needed far-reaching changes. What is up for discussion is nothing less than a deep change, a fundamental cultural shift that is reflected both in public awareness and in the political will for renewal. Together with representatives from science, art, media and politics, we want to discuss how such a transformation process can succeed.

The event is a cooperation between the UNU-EHS and the Bundeskunsthalle and builds on the successful collaboration on How Worldwide Disasters are Connected (2022) and Living on the Edge (2023).

The Interconnected Disaster Risks report is a science-based UNU-EHS report for the general public that was first published in 2021. The idea for the report arose from the realization that disasters are happening faster and faster and, despite progress in preparing for and responding to them, we are constantly being surprised by new extremes and new threats. This report examines the world's disasters and risks by analyzing the causes, drivers and impacts. The series, which aims to raise awareness of the links between disaster risks and their solutions, has been published in major international and national media.
