Throughout the decades, damage inflicted on the world\u2019s ecosystems through unsustainable development practices has become more apparent. While progress has been made towards a sustainable development transition through new technologies and practices, roadblocks to transformative change remain and the environment continues to be threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conference will address these challenges by supporting research into obstacles to the processes and strategies of this transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will help map out the path to a sustainable future while navigating the expected conflicts of societal change. The conference will highlight achievements in the field of international transition studies, allow sharing of perspectives and engage researchers new to the international community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
