Sustainability science (Nachhaltigkeitsforschung) aims to provide solutions to the multiple socio-ecological crises by working beyond ‘modern’ disciplinary boundaries. At this Round Table, we will first discuss how sustainability science is conceptualized and organized in Bolivia, Ghana, Indonesia, and Germany. Second, we will discuss how we can interlink the interdisciplinary field of sustainability science on a global scale.
