Was dem Schutz des Klimas dient, kann den Verlust der Artenvielfalt befördern. Deshalb sind Maßnahmen gegen den Klimawandel und den Biodiversitätsverlust aufeinander abzustimmen. Grundlage dafür bilden Suffizienzkriterien der Gerechtigkeit, die erlauben, mögliche Konflikte zu erkennen und übergreifende Ziele zu formulieren, um die Transformation hin zur Nachhaltigkeit gerecht zu gestalten.

Policy and science: joining forces for a sustainable future
How should science participate in shaping a sustainable future? How can politics, administration and science work together to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals? These questions were the focus of the event on 14 November 2023, a combination of the ARE's "Dialogue 2030" and the SCNAT's "Sustainability Science Forum". The video of the event is now online!

This report argues that one of the most effective ways to support sustainable development through research and innovation is to establish large, integrated funding programmes, referred to here as lighthouse programmes. As well as producing impact-oriented knowledge on key sustainability challenges, these programmes would bring many other societal, scientific, and institutional benefits. These include: building closer relationships between science, society, and policy, and encouraging changes in the academic system itself, for example by increasing its capacity for inter- and transdisciplinary research.
