EVENT

Four Radical Transitions


We focus on four radical transitions – low carbon and climate resilient development; smart and inclusive urbanisation; safe and responsible digitalisation, and sustainable and equitable food systems. Radical shifts in socio-technical systems, human values and politics need to be imagined. Incremental change will not do.

Low Carbon Society

Climate change is a problem of collective societal action. How do we deeply and rapidly alter politics, norms, attitudes and incentives to act?

Future Cities

The growth of mid-sized cities is likely to shape India’s urbanisation story. How can we build Future Cities that are inclusive, climate resilient and technologically smart?

Digital Society

The future of societal and political participation, environmental sustainability, economic prosperity and good work depend on how we make sense of digital technologies. How do we ensure that digitalization is socially just, equitable and sustainable?

Future of Food

The changing food production, distribution and consumption patterns have significant impact on nature and communities. How do we ensure these changes are ecologically sustainable and equitable?
