Sustainable development and sustainability are inherently multi-disciplinary because they concern a complex system having economic, technological, ecological, political, and other perspectives. Sustainability is enabled by technological advances but is a social construct and needs to be economically viable. Therefore, there is a need to take the discussion on sustainability and sustainable development beyond its traditional and confined limits within the academic disciplines of engineering, technology, economics or geography or political science and analyse the problems through a multidisciplinary and trans-disciplinary approach, and holistic, integrative, and critical thinking. International Centre for Applied Systems Science and Sustainable Development (ICASSSD) is pleased to announce its first research school on ‘Sustainable Solutions’.
