Turning Insight into Action: How the IPBES Transformative Change Assessment Can Drive Real Change

8 May 2025, 17:00 – 18:30 CEST | Online Webinar

The IPBES Transformative Change Assessment (TCA) represents a pivotal advancement in the global effort to foster deep, systemic shifts toward sustainability. In an interactive webinar hosted by the Transformations Community, in collaboration with cCHANGE and SocSES, participants will explore how boundary-spanning organizations can align their efforts to bring the TCA’s transformative insights to life—translating them into meaningful strategies and real-world action.

Join us in this webinar to

• Discussions on the role of boundary organizations in catalyzing transformation
• Highlighting key insights from each chapter through lead authors’ presentations and discussion
• Foster collaboration across boundary organizations by reflecting on how Transformations Community, cCHANGE, and SocSES can work together to turn TCA insights into actionable outcomes

This webinar is a pre-session leading up to the TC/ESG 2025 Conference in August 2025 in South Africa, where many of these discussions will continue.
