Transformative Change for Sustainability:
Achieving sustainability, viewed as balancing social, economic, and environmental goals over time, requires transformative change. Current trajectories of change across these goals are rushing the planet and its people headlong towards biodiversity loss, climate change, socio-political polarization, and pollution. But these outcomes are not inevitable. Actions and choices for a different future, from the individual to organizational and societal levels and from nearer to the longer-term futures, have the power to ameliorate or reverse these outcomes. The second Annual National Sustainability Society conference will invite participation and contributions focusing on transformative change for a just and sustainable future.
