Global change has become an ecological, sociological, and technical issue of the present day, with a significant political dimension and global implications. This domain employs a wide range of research approaches (including interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary methods in social and humanities disciplines). Its aim is to understand people, policies, and politics, as well as their roles in creating and resolving sustainability challenges.
The domain examines the interconnectedness, complexity, and uncompromising nature of actions and political decision-making, as well as changes within them. It generates knowledge that leads to more sustainable outcomes and facilitates their achievement. Additionally, it addresses questions of power and justice in the context of sustainability and explores how a deeper understanding of the links between human society and the natural environment can help identify pathways toward sustainability.
