Designing transition spaces for sustainable futures: SARAS Transition Lab

The various socio-ecological crises that characterize these transitional times demand new ways of understanding, thinking and acting. In this paper, we put forward a program for the creation of a transition lab in the context of the South American Institute for Resilience and Sustainability Studies. By drawing inspiration and integrating the approaches of Transition Design, Resilience Thinking and Policy Design, we offer a model of an experimental space for transdisciplinary and trans-sector collaboration with multiple actors from academia, public and private sectors, as well as civil society.
