The Sustainability Conference is held annually in different locations around the world. The conference was held at the University of Madras, Chennai, India in 2007; Hanoi and Ha Long Bay, Vietnam in 2006; and the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, Island of Oahu, Hawai’I, USA in 2005.
The Conference and the Journal are cross-disciplinary in their scope, a meeting point for natural and social scientists, researchers and practitioners, professionals and community representatives. Our times call for interdisciplinary and holistic approaches. As the challenges to our human and planetary existence become less capable of being addressed by purely personal, corporate, local or short term solutions, so too narrowness of thinking will no longer suffice. This is not to say that we do not need to develop careful, finely grained, locally nuanced and deeply grounded knowledge and social practices of sustainability. Such perspectives are, if anything, more critical than ever. But increasingly they need also to be situated in the context of longer, broader and deeper views.
