In order to tackle the climate crisis and to enable a sustainability transformation, we need to recognize planetary boundaries and adapt our demand accordingly while considering intra- and intergenerational justice. The resulting societies, and their production and consumption patterns, are envisioned to rest on renewable resources (biomass, wind, solar, hydro, etc.) and on non-renewables (like metals or sand) that are used only in a circular manner and within planetary boundaries. Questions arise not only about how such a transition can be achieved, but also which justice implications are entailed to different societal groups.

EPICUR invites scholars, NGOs including public institutions, institutes, social organizations, funding agencies, infrastructure providers (such as archives, libraries, museums), business etc. to come together and share their insights, concerns, needs and vision for the future.

The second EPICamp will offer thematic subsections within the broad range of topics and disciplines, including (but not limited to) land-use, material use, energy transition, sustainable agriculture and forestry, climate justice, and ecosystem impact.
