The city’s legacy offers a blueprint for order after catastrophe; its current scientific community offers the tools to prevent that catastrophe. The question for 2026–2036 is whether global leaders will visit Potsdam as tourists of history—or as architects of a managed, just, and stable transition.

PIK, directed by leading scientists (e.g., Johan Rockström, former director), has redefined Potsdam as a center for . The "Outlook Potsdam" environmental agenda rests on three pillars:
