Subject area Sustainability Science

Books on sustainability topics such as consumerism or environmental ethics have characterised the Tectum Verlag programme for many years. Sustainability science is still a relatively young discipline that is both interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary. With the further development of the programme focus, we would like to bring these contributions together in one forum. A particular focus is on research findings from disciplines in the cultural and social sciences, economics and law. By bundling the findings, they can be perceived, compared and researched in their entirety.

What is sustainability? Why should we think and act sustainably at all? The series deals with fundamental questions about the relationship between humans and nature, the identification of ecological and environmental problems, the development of solution strategies and the discussion of existing solutions. The authors come from various disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, creating interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives on the topic.

Dissertations and other research papers appear in this series published by Tectum Verlag.
