Guiding the transformation of organizations and territories
Mission
The Territories in Transition Chair approaches sustainability from a territorial perspective for the following reasons:
- Territories are key to understanding the changes linked to environmental degradation (air pollution, loss of biodiversity, scarcity of water resources, etc.) and the associated social consequences (inequalities, value chain uncertainties, undermining of existing business models, etc).
- National sustainability policies are implemented at a territorial level withregards to air quality and climate, land artificialisation and the fight against environmental issues that require rapid action by all players.
- Territories represent a key place of action and are essential for experimenting new strategies of sustainability, newly developed frames of reference and new models for organizing activities.
- The goal of our multi-partner Territories in Transition Chair is to produce knowledge which allows us to analyze, imagine and experiment new solutions to guide the transformation of territories in favor of social and environmental sustainability.
