Framework
Welcome to the Forum

The Forum on Science and Innovation for Sustainable Development is an attempt to outline the burgeoning field. Rather than looking broadly at sustainability, the Forum focuses on the way in which science and innovation can be conducted and applied to meet human needs while preserving the life support systems of the planet. It highlights people and programs that are studying nature-society interactions and applying the resulting knowledge to create a sustainability transition around the world.

The Forum will continue to evolve along with the field, and we invite your participation in that process. Contributions and suggestions for posting to the Forum are always welcome, and individuals who are working in the field are invited to join the Network.
