Activity Report of the Science Platform Sustainability 2030 published

The freshly published activity report on the first mandate period (2017 to 2021) of the Science Platform Sustainability 2030 (wpn 2030) gives an impression of the goals, results, exchange and participation formats as well as the commitment with which representatives from science, business, politics and society have contributed to the discourse on the topic of sustainability. For example, wpn2030 has bundled and synthesized knowledge from the expert community in two overarching synthesis papers on the further development of the German Sustainability Strategy and on the Corona pandemic and sustainability, and communicated them to policymakers. The exchange formats of wpn2030 include, for example, the Advisory Council Dialogue, which has been implemented annually since 2018 as a high-level dialogue with scientific advisory councils and federal ministries, various working groups between science and politics on the topics of "Sustainable Consumption," "Future of Work," "Global Commons," and "Mobility," as well as the wpn2030 Conference in 2019.

The wpn2030 thus serves as a central place for science to reflect on and discuss pressing issues of sustainability policy - always in exchange with politics, business and society. The wpn2030 is systematically integrated into the official political steering, dialogue and implementation process of the 2030 Agenda. The platform is supported by the Sustainable Solutions Development Network Germany (SDSN Germany), DKN Future Earth (German Committee for Sustainability Research) and RIFS (Research Institute for Sustainability, Helmholtz Zentrum - formerly IASS) with the respective co-chairs Prof. Dr. Christa Liedtke, Head of the Department of Sustainable Production and Consumption at the Wuppertal Institute, and member of the Steering Committee at SDSN, Prof. Dr. Daniela Jacob (Hereon-GERICS, DKN-Future Earth) and Prof. Dr. Mark Lawrence (RIFS).
