by Julia Bock-Schappelwein, Andrea Egger, Katharina Falkner, Ulrike Famira-Mühlberger, Angela Köppl, Claudia Liebeswar, Christine Mayrhuber, and Margit Schratzenstaller

This article argues that the socio-ecological transformation does not only require to restructure the traditional welfare state architecture but also to renew welfare state objectives and institutions. While compensatory and preventive functions have long been in the foreground, it is now time to expand the transformative component and promote ecological sustainability through the welfare state. Conceptual starting points for the socio-ecological transformation are the core of this article.
