Planetary Security, Climate Change, Energy and Sustainable Development

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Energy is a key driver for our planetary economic, social, political, and industrial patterns. In the short term, the present aggressive full-scale war against sovereign Ukraine reminds us once more how important it is to achieve independence from single large fossil energy providers who often suffer from antidemocratic and authoritarian power systems. Therefore, and firmly motivated by the long-term climate change catastrophe, we seek concrete and practical paths out of the fossil dilemma, including renewable energy sources and novel but realistic democratic mechanisms for enhancing their sociopolitical, economic, and technological realization. In the medium and long term, climate change and sustainable energy supply call for a co-creative evolution of societal structures, institutional mechanisms, and transnational monitoring to ensure that targets of a further dialogic democratisation and protection against totalitarianism are met. In this sense, we call for your innovative contributions.
