Our world is at a tipping point. We have undermined the conditions for sustainable existence, with no choice but to pull ourselves from the brink. Sustainability is the core challenge of our era. No academic discipline, corporation, country, first nation, government, or organization can achieve sustainability alone. 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 innovative forms of theory, practice, and action that can help craft a path towards sustainability. The main theme of the conference is the integration across disciplines, stakeholders, and sustainability pillars (such as social, environmental, and economic). However, specialization is the key for successful integration.
Hence, both (integration and specialization) types of contributions are welcome. We are looking forward to contributions from all stakeholders. The contributions can be on any aspect of sustainability and/or any of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The submission deadline for abstracts and session proposals is May 25, 2019. Visit Call for Abstracts on our website to learn about the different session types and how to submit your work.
We look forward to welcome you at the University of Toronto Mississauga in October 2019. Dr. Shashi Kant
