25 years of the Potsdam Institute - that's 25 years of climate impact research. In this very special session on the occasion of our anniversary we will reflect upon what has been achieved in the past quarter of a century. Yet more importantly we will discuss what sustainability science should do in the future. What are the challenges ahead, what do decision-makers expect from the research community, and how can science inform political processes such as the next UN climate summit in Bonn?
