Learn about the most topical issues of sustainability under the guidance of Professor de Vries, one of the most respected experts on the subject as author of the forthcoming book Sustainability science and co-founder of the Institute for Energy and Environment at the University of Groningen. Professor De Vries has been researching the challenges of sustainability for over thirty years and has played a major role in the IPCC's climate change modelling and scenario development work.

In his presentation, he will highlight how a worldview of modernity has led to the current sustainability crises and discuss how a diversity of worldviews and a novel approach to complex systems science can help to advance the sustainability dialogue.
