• "Why we need transformative scenarios for people and nature: Building capacities to imagine safe and just futures for all life on Earth" - 16:15pm - Dyson Perrins Building off South Parks Road OX1 3QY

  • There is general scientific agreement on the need for transformative change in order to address the systemic poly-crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and growing inequalities globally. However, what this transformative change is and what the future looks like if we are able to achieve it remains opaque. It is important to recognise that there is a plurality of desirable futures that could emerge from transformative interventions; these aspirational futures will look different in different contexts and from different people’s perspectives and knowledge systems. When it comes to detailing how to achieve these outcomes, there is a dearth of scenarios detailing preferable futures for people and nature. In this talk, I will unpack some of the thinking that has gone into trying to address this gap through the development of the Nature Futures Framework. I will also outline some of the capacities that are needed in order to expand and further develop the framework, especially in the context of modelling how to achieve a safe and just future for all life on Earth- a task currently being undertaken by the Transformation Pathways workstream of the Earth Commission. Laura Pereira is a Professor in Sustainability Transformations and Futures at the Global Change Institute, Wits University and a researcher at the Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University.
