The Chiang Mai Workshop is one of a series of regional meetings to explore the design and implementation of science programs and related activities that would support transitions to sustainability. The Workshop aimed to provide a regional perspective on four key elements of sustainability science: a science agenda for sustainability that reflects the needs and priorities in Asia; the identification of barriers to sustainability, including scientific understanding, technological and institutional challenges; the development of recommendations designed to remove or reduce those barriers; and the identification of opportunities to apply knowledge to support transitions to sustainability.
