Achieving the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the Agenda 2020 requires holistic Sustainable Development Pathways (SDPs) that maximise synergies and avoid, minimise or compensate for trade-offs. The orientation towards this much broader target space challenges the IAM community to broaden their previous scope considerably. The SHAPE Project has addressed this gap by aiming at creating and modelling a set of SDPs with multiple integrated assessment models. The project’s multi-method approach involved a co-creative narrative design process, as well as analyses of governance, equity and material flows. 

During the SHAPE final conference, the project team will present and discuss the project results with a broad audience. The programme comprises two main blocks: In the morning session, the overarching results and their implications will be presented and discussed with representatives from politics, business and civil society. In the topic-specific afternoon sessions, project results and reflections of the inter- and transdisciplinary co-creation process of the project will be presented in more detail.
