Sustainability Studies
The study of sustainability from a multidisciplinary standpoint is known as sustainability studies. Sustainable development, geography, environmental policies, ethics, ecology, landscape architecture, city, and regional planning, economics, natural resources, sociology, and anthropology are a few of the topics included in these programs. Climate change, poverty, and economic progress are significant points of emphasis in sustainability research. To address the environmental crisis, students enrolled in sustainability courses are expected to develop innovative approaches. At the end of the 1980s, the environment and ecological sustainability emerged as a new focal point in the international arena. The World Commission on Environment and Development issued the Brundtland Report in 1987. Norway's Prime Minister Gro Harlem Brundtland created the commission to investigate the effects of climate change on the planet. It developed the notion of sustainable development, described as "progress that fulfills the demands of the present without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to satisfy their own requirements."As a result of the shift in thinking sparked by this research, major players on a global scale quickly adopted programs with a commitment to sustainable development.
