We are at the start of a long, hard journey. The goal: a greenhouse-gas-neutral society. The challenge: fundamental changes are needed in all areas of our lives.
We will live differently, build differently, produce differently and move about differently. Our behavior as consumers will be completely different. To achieve this, all parts of society need to work well together. We need democratic ways of making decisions. And we don’t mean just any decisions – we mean the best possible decisions.
ifok looks at climate change through the lens of social transformation. Every transformation has four dimensions. As far as the technical and the economic dimension is concerned, there is already an active public debate, many experts and many opinions. We provide processes and structures for the debate, seek out the common denominator and present accepted results. But little attention is paid to the cultural and institutional dimensions. How can we succeed in involving civil society in decisions taken by politicians? How can your business stay innovative and competitive? And how can we motivate citizens to be part of a solution that involves the whole of society? Our answer: through participation, transparency and, above all, good communication.
We are experts on our topics. We are familiar with the scene and the debates going on within it. We invest in the innovation potential of interdisciplinary teams, data-driven analyses and above all in the experience of the people on location. It’s not the last word that counts for us, but the best solution.
