Sustainability Science: Key Issues is a comprehensive textbook for undergraduates, postgraduates, and participants in executive trainings from any disciplinary background studying the theory and practice of sustainability science. Each chapter takes a critical and reflective stance on a key issue or method of sustainability science. Contributing authors offer perspectives from diverse disciplines, including physics, philosophy of science, agronomy, geography, and the learning sciences.This book equips readers with a better understanding of how one might actively design, engage in, and guide collaborative processes for transforming human-environment-technology interactions, whilst embracing complexity, contingency, uncertainties, and contradictions emerging from diverse values and world views. Each reader of this book will thus have guidance on how to create and/or engage in similar initiatives or courses in their own context.Sustainability Science: Key Issues is the ideal book for students and researchers engaged in problem and project based learning in sustainability science.

Arvustused

"Transforming our world into one that is sustainable and desirable and that achieves the UN Sustainable Development Goals is the overarching challenge for humanity today. This book is an important and innovative guide to sustainability science as a transformative, whole system learning process that is essential to achieving this goal." Professor Robert Costanza, The Australian National University, Australia

"This book will certainly promote the debate on the role of scientific knowledge in sustainability transitions. It convinces by its enlightened perspective on appropriate forms of knowledge production in the 21st century." Professor Uwe Schneidewind, Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy, Germany

"This book provides a powerful set of concepts and methods that have proved very effective for the participatory development of new perspectives and actionable knowledge on sustainability in practice, on campus and beyond. Whether for course-work or for practice this book gives clear guidance. It is a gem!" Associate Professor Maki Ikegami, Hokkaido University, Japan
