Countries represented.
There is widespread consensus that sustainable development pays dividends for posterity. However, the fault lines in developmental processes call for us to rethink methods and approaches with honesty, transparency, and integrity. Deep research needs to inform the nexus between the four pillars of social, economic, cultural, and environmental sustainability. New models and modalities of participation need to be scoped and developed.
Universities and governments all over the world are moving into the management models for research with a focus on impacts. Our Sustainability knowledge community has a seminal foundation of taking holistic and accountable approaches for research and development since the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002. It is the single largest platform for the discourse of sustainability that is holistic through the four pillar approach.
The Eleventh International Conference on Environmental, Cultural, Economic & Social Sustainability featured plenary sessions by some of the world’s leading thinkers and innovators in the field.
