Today’s world is undergoing major transformations, characterized by increased globalization, fundamental shifts in economic and political power, escalating environmental challenges, and unpredictable social conflict.

IIASA’s 40th Anniversary Conference examined the many sustainability and development challenges such transformations impose and explored options for resolving these challenges. It explored new “future worlds” that accommodate our collective needs and aspirations, while living within, and respecting, planetary boundaries.
