Latest Urban Energy Transition Edition
Urban Energy Transition, Third Edition: Cities and Regions for a stable climate is the most current scientific and practice-based compendium on energy transformations in the global urban system. It also yields perspectives on climate stabilization and the need for comprehensive and additional climate action and policy frames that work in conjunction with the energy transition. This fresh volume examines both established and emerging economic, design, governance, policy and technology related insights and contains contributions from Africa, Asia, Australia, Central Europe and North America.
Prof Peter Droege initiates the Global Climate Geodesign Competition
Invitation to educational institutions around the world to submit GIS-based climate mitigation designs through local and regional climate-positive scenario modeling. The initiative commenced in early September. LISD in association with the International Geodesign Collaboration, the University of Minnesota and Esri.
Registrations are now open and submissions are due 15 June 2026. For more information and registration details please contact GC@eurisd.org.

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.”
