Sustainability is the core challenge of our era. We all have a role to play
in the path towards sustainability. This inaugural STPPA conference, in
collaboration with all who are committed to sustainability, seeks to bring
together academics and students across all disciplines, Aboriginal leaders
and scholars, business executives, civil society, policymakers,
sustainability professionals and other sustainability lovers to explore

The main theme of the conference is the integration across disciplines,

Hence, both (integration and specialization) types of contributions are
welcome. We are looking forward to contributions from all stakeholders. The
