Achieving a fair and inclusive future where we live well within the limits of our planet requires societies to undergo transformations that will enhance the quality of life for both present and future generations, and across species. These sustainability transformations must address existing injustices, including those produced by systems of domination such as colonialism, while also ensuring that new inequities are not created in the process. The conference aims to bring together academics and practitioners that are navigating these complexities in their work to share their insights and build new transdisciplinary collaborations towards building sustainable and just futures.
Within the broad theme of sustainability transformations towards justice & equity, the conference will focus on four sub-themes:
We welcome theoretical contributions alongside practical techniques, strategies, workshops, and case studies. Theoretical work coupled with case studies and examples of how practices can drive systemic change are highly encouraged, ensuring actionable insights and transformative impacts. This approach aims to bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and real-world applications, fostering a comprehensive dialogue that encompasses both academic rigor and practical relevance.
