Our research focuses on two main areas:
Global healthy & thus sustainable society
Within this research area, (a) the concept of “health” (including love, joy, wellbeing, happiness, good relationships & vulnerability), (b) the concept of “sustainability” (including globally working markets for “common goods” on science based targets) are the fundament for (c) our core (solution) concept of “global democracy“. This “global democracy” is within constant stress and under pressure from (d) the “mimetic forces” (including greed, vanity, envy, jealousy, group-think, trash culture, addiction, quick fun & satisfaction).
Global warming scenario
Within this reserach area, we want to develop a (better) trans- & interdisciplinary understanding of global warming, since we see (1) global warming, climate change, and the loss of biodiversity as the currently by far most pressing global challenge for humanity and (2) the current global warming scenarios are reduced to a mostly physical perspective (How much temperature rise till when?) and do not include all kind of (a) health impacts (e.g. number of direct deaths), (b) social impacts (e.g. loss of livelihoods, number of refugees, conflicts, wars) and (c) economic impacts (e.g. cost from natural catastrophes, blocked growth, rising inflation, increased inequality) due to climate change.
