We live in a time of many challenges. The ‘Great Acceleration’ (Steffen et al., 2015) is a trend that can be observed in numerous fields in our world: be it the development of CO2 emissions, the land use or the enormous amount of produced plastics accompanied by massive environmental pollution. This ‘phenomenon’ is obviously directly linked to the way we live and how our society works. To meet these developments, we need to move away from the big, prone concepts that got us here in the first place, and instead build on a variety of dynamic and changing solutions.
