Sharing a Planet in Peril (SAPP) is revolutionizing research on global environmental change by integrating humanities and social science approaches and working closely with partners from the Global South. It focuses on the topics of Sharing Landscapes, Sharing Climate and Sharing Nourishment to address key challenges of environmental change. 

Through "Collaboratories" and a "Mutual Learning Hub", the initiative promotes the exchange of knowledge and the visibility of research results. SAPP combines the expertise of the University of Cologne with current developments in environmental research and emphasizes participatory approaches, diversity and the promotion of young researchers. SAPP also emphasizes the involvement of local communities and trains a new generation of researchers to integrate the concept of sharing into the discourse on sustainability.
