When envisioning a future for a community, region, or nation, it is essential to ask: when, where, and for whom is the future? Who sets the criteria for a desirable future? What scientific knowledge is needed? Addressing these questions involves a transdisciplinary process to manage complex, contextual problems. Wolfram Mauser and his team propose a three-phase approach: codesign, coproduction, and codissemination. The Energieregion Weiz-Gleisdorf project in Austria, which Claudia R. Binder is involved in, exemplifies this. It aimed for CO2 neutrality by 2050 through scenario development and community-selected visions. Scientists and stakeholders collaboratively produced and disseminated knowledge, ensuring scientific soundness and societal relevance. This approach highlights the importance of integrating disciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary knowledge for environmental outcomes.
