Special Focus & Themes

On Sustainability Research Network is brought together by a common concern for sustainability from a holistic perspective, where environmental, cultural, economic, and social interests intersect. We seek to build an epistemic community where we can make linkages across disciplinary, geographic, and cultural boundaries. As a Research Network we are defined by our scope and concerns and motivated to build strategies for action framed by our shared themes and tensions.

The Twenty-Fourth International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic & Social Sustainability features research addressing the following themes.

  • 2028 Special Focus—New Perspectives on Local and Global Sustainability
  • Theme 1: Environmental Change, Resilience, and Adaptation
  • Theme 2: Sustainable Cities, Architecture, and Built Environments
  • Theme 3: Culture, Community, and Environmental Justice
  • Theme 4: Policy, Economy, and Sustainable Transitions
