The different contributions in this global study aim to catalyse debates and knowledge exchange. They explore examples of twenty-first-century eco-social contracts and the processes driving them; draw on pluralistic approaches; produce context-specific solutions and give renewed visibility to local value systems and communitarian imaginaries; and suggest pathways to harmonize our relationships with nature and future generations. They identify what must be done to ground social contracts in democratic and participatory processes that provide necessary legitimacy and buy-in. This compilation contains short articles, issue briefs and blogs written by members of the Global Research and Action Network for a New Eco-Social Contract, visiting fellows, and UNRISD staff and collaborating researchers.
