Researching Progressive Futures: Sustaining sustainability? Technology, community & politics
Where does agency lie in the transition to a more sustainable society? Pathways to sustainability take different forms, from more top-down initiatives by governments and international organisations to more bottom-up initiatives led by communities. From the development of technologies and efforts to address their social and environment risks, to community-based cooperation to address land degradation, to contestations over national-level climate policy in different countries, these Professorial talks will explore different sites of change and forms of action towards a more sustainable future.
