System Change Now: Climate, Nature, Technology and Money.
World Systemic Forum Feature 2025
Friday, 17.01.2025,
13.30 – 16.30 CET
University Liechtenstein
‘What systemic changes are needed in the economic, monetary and financial system to reverse the negative developments of the last 50 years for the environment and climate stability over the next 50 years? The question is not academic: while measures are in principle of a project nature, the fundamental existential dynamic that needs to be halted and reversed is of a decidedly systemic nature. Is the monetary system even capable of this?
In order to explore these questions and articulate principles for a more systemically sustainable monetary and financial system, a group of experienced minds from related fields are coming together at the University of Liechtenstein for a public roundtable. It is one of the roundtables that will be held in the run-up to the World Systemic Forum of Rudi Hilti’s System Change Foundation on January 18, 2025. It is actively supported by Prof. Peter Droege, who says: “Sustainability Finance, i.e. using money in a regenerative and climate-stabilizing way, should be called SDG Zero: fundamental financial system dynamics drive environmental change. Yet this is not one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.”

Prof Droege speaks at the GIS for a Sustainable World plenary
On 2 May 2023 Prof Droege speaks at Esri’s ‘Our Interconnected Future’ event about GIS as Global Commons, prospective GIS applications and present roles in crisis zones and the promise of the Global Climate Geodesign Challenge, a two-year, Esri supported project potentially involving more than 250 Universities and organisations worldwide pursuing climate relevant projects and gauging their global impact.
Our interconnected future
‘The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development requires urgent and collaborative action—across all geographies and sectors—to ensure that none are left behind in our interconnected world. Discover how a geographic approach to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provides the insights needed to accelerate our collective impact.’

LISD Partner of the Global Climate Geodesign Challenge
The International Geodesign Collaborative (IGC), together with LISD GmbH and Geodesignhub Pvt. Ltd. in partnership and sponsored by Esri Inc has launched the Global Climate Geodesign Challenge (GC2).
The GC2 aims to help global and local decision-makers make strategic climate-based decisions which create enormous long-term benefits for local communities and the world at large. The challenge will undertake climate-responsive spatial designs accommodating many participants, using negotiated collaborations for improved planning and decision-making.
The IGC https://www.igc-geodesign.org/ is inviting local teams – university educators and students, professionals, and non-governmental organisations – to submit their proposals.

Geneva Debate 2022
24 February 2022
Peter Droege was panelist at Geneva Debate 2022, an online event which explored the question of ‘How to Draw an Ecological Line: Roadmaps for Ecological Urban Realms’.
With the Ecological Transition as the only vital project with regard to the multiple facets of the climate emergency (biodiversity, food, migration, construction, consumption) it is time for the project professions to revisit their fundamentals in order to judge their relevance, to reconstruct the narrative of their own legitimacy, their methodological framework and their anticipated objectives.
The Braillard Architects Foundation asked experts at its Transition Workshop about the conditions for this necessary disciplinary renewal.
2021 Transition Workshop Geneva
June 1st – July 23rd 2021
