Visions of the future
The green transition is the biggest transformation of Danish and global society since the industrial revolution.
A transition that we must achieve in just one generation. If we are to succeed, we need to dare to think long-term. Our choices must be based on the needs of the future - not the constraints of the present.
The long-term goal is a climate-positive Denmark. A society that absorbs more greenhouse gas than it emits and that offers attractive living conditions to citizens within planetary boundaries.
CONCITO raises the issue of attractive, climate-friendly futures. We want to explore and discuss issues such as: What will our future look like when we have completely switched off fossil fuels? How can Denmark become climate neutral by 2050, and what will it be like to live in that society? What international climate responsibility will Denmark have to assume in the future? What values will characterise the lifestyle of the future and how should we balance technological solutions and the need for behavioural change?

Fremtidens Arealanvendelse
Vor nuværende arealanvendelse er ikke bæredygtig, og den globale brug af vores arealer spiller en central rolle i forhold til klimakrisen, tab af biodiversitet, tab af skov og udslip af reaktivt kvælstof og fosfor til miljøet. Forskere vurderer, at de planetære grænser i øjeblikket overskrides på alle disse områder. Fortsætter overskridelsen af planetære grænser, er der risiko for dramatiske og irreversible forandringer i det globale miljø og klima.
