The challenges of the Anthropocene Epoch are multifaceted and complex. As Europe and the rest of the world emerges from the coronavirus pandemic, humanity is faced with an array of complex and interwoven challenges. The coupled climate, environmental and energy crises are at the center of all of the challenges that face us today. These are wicked problems. This means that misguided and partial solutions can have unexpected and unwanted repercussions. Therefore, as we approach 2030, education must be a guiding force for solution finders. These solution finders need a new kind of education which leaves traditionally academic silos behind and approaches Anthropocene challenges in the transdisciplinary manner which wicked problems demand. This session will focus on the role of CIVIS in putting challenge-based transdisciplinary education center stage in Europe.

Organised by CIVIS Hub 1 (Climate, environment and energy)
