abstract

  • We will need to think in terms of beckoning perspectives, more than in terms of solving separate problems.There is a lack of a cohesivestory for the future of the Netherlands.Biodiversity, sea level rise, and our foodsystem are the most urgent problems.We need unorthodox solutions to provide a new perspective for people who are confronted with the threats of flooding, loss of nature, and agricultural damage.Without a catastrophe needing to happen, we should rigorously go after different futures and make the urgency of this clear.In the past, the Netherlands was different than it is now. This will be the same in the future.We should ask each student to write a memo with a proposal for how we can achieve a sober and sunny future.
