The workshop was held in response to the results gained during an earlier workshop on "Earth System Engineering: The art of dealing wisely with the planet Earth", held in 2008 at Wildbad-Kreuth. Four major Earth crises were indentified - crises that endanger the persistence of the life enabling conditions on Earth.

 

Global warming and the resulting climate change need to be tackled simultaneously with "loss of ecosystem functions", "unequal distribution and subsequent deficiency of vital resources such as air, water, food and energy", and "decay of conditions that keep economies as well as societies stable". It was agreed that measures to solve the four Earth crises must be derived within sustainability guidelines. Small meetings held after the first Wildbad-Kreuth workshop led to the hypothesis that the resilience theory expresses the potential of developing readily understandable and thus broadly acceptable measures toward a sustainable solution of the Earth crises.

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
