In December 2025, scholars from across Europe gathered in Fulda for the conference “Social Contracts and Democracy in Times of the Anthropocene – Thinking Beyond Crisis.”
The post-conference report is now available. Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives, it captures key debates on how planetary transformations reshape democracy, legitimacy and governance. The report traces emerging discussions on eco-social contracts, adaptive forms of politics, and the future of democratic imagination in an age marked by ecological limits, technological entanglements and geopolitical shifts.
