Call for Abstracts - International Sustainability Transitions Conference 2017

Year 2050 is just around the corner. From a transition perspective, three decades is not a long time. Yet, the United Nations sustainable development goals are set for 2030, and the pace of climate change calls for rapid transformation of massive sociotechnical systems. The challenges are enormous.



The 8th International Conference on Sustainability Transitions, in June 2017 at Chalmers, will devote special attention to problems and challenges for agents that aspire to lead sustainable transitions, and to the intellectual challenges of understanding how to lead collective processes that, in one sense, cannot be led.



We invite scholars to submit papers on a broad range of issues and debates in sustainability transitions research. The main theme is: Taking the lead in real world transitions.

And in particular we look for contributions relating to one or more of the eleven chosen topics.



Deadline for submission is December 18th.
IST 2017 is hosted by Chalmers, CIIST, and STRN, and will take place at Chalmers 18-21 June 2017.
