Are maps neutral? Can a different representation of the territory prompt change?
In this episode we’ll try to explore the possibilities of cartography and critical cartography in shaping and communities through different points of views and symbolism.

This podcast is part of a larger compendium, where we explore different thoughts and frameworks that can guide sustainable development towards generating systems that serve the needs of the future. Of crucial importance are the ideas that systems need to serve the mass of people, contribute to stabilize ecosystem services and enable an applicable transition. The well-known Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are very essential, but often lack the needed transformation. So dive into the journey – from SDGs to GDS (generating different systems) to hear about holistic ideas for a better future.
The compendium is the work of an international students group of the master's programme Global Change Management (GCM) class 2022/2023, from the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development.
If you would like to learn more about practical examples that relate to underlying concepts like the Doughnut Economy and Planetary Boundaries, please check out our website: https://hnee-gcm-compendium.vercel.app/ that was made from a previous semester group.
