Sustainability Science Remains a Challenge for Academia

Abstract

Sustainability is the defining theme of this century. Sustainability Science based on the integration of a wide range of disciplines including arts and humanities is one of the means to achieve sustainability. The inclusion of arts and humanities indeed calls into the question the use of “science” in Sustainability Science. Putting this question aside, this journal itself is symbolic of efforts to nurture and foster Sustainability Science. The current issue covers a range of topics that constitute the core of Sustainability Science.
