La mise en œuvre de la Stratégie pour le développement durable 2030 (SDD 2030) du Conseil fédéral nécessite l’engagement de tous les acteurs et actrices aux niveaux national, cantonal, régional et communal. Le Programme d’encouragement a été créé dans cet objectif : il soutient le lancement de projets qui contribuent au développement durable. Ces projets participent à la mise en œuvre au niveau local de l’Agenda 2030 pour le développement durable, qui constitue le cadre de référence pour les efforts nationaux et internationaux dans ce domaine.

Für den Wandel hin zu einer nachhaltigeren Gesellschaft spielt der Umgang mir unseren Natur- und Siedlungsräumen eine zentrale Rolle. Wie können wir resiliente Erholungsräume schaffen, zukünftiges Wohnen und Arbeiten gestalten und welches sind Wege hin zu einem regionalen, nachhaltigen Konsum? Auf der Basis der Vision von «Thriving Spaces» und am Beispiel des Kantons Bern beleuchtet diese Veranstaltung Aspekte einer nachhaltigen Raumentwicklung und identifiziert die grössten Wissenslücken. Die Anmeldung ist nun offen.

The Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress is a series of gatherings that unite global research leaders, experts, industries and innovators to inspire action and promote a sustainability transformation.

The multiple crises of unsustainability are provoking increasing stress and unpleasant emotions among students. If higher education is to fulfill its mission to support transformation processes toward sustainable development, it must adapt its pedagogical approaches to help students deepen their critical thinking and empower them to engage in these transformation processes. The manuscript explores how learners and educators can cultivate engaged critique by acknowledging their own embeddedness in neoliberal dynamics and opening up so-called transformative spaces for institutional change. Finally, recommendations for educational practices in higher education for sustainable development are offered.
