Sustainability Frontiers Conference

Amid the growing focus on sustainability and Agenda 2030, and on the pathway toward Stockholm+50, two leading Swedish centres, Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies (LUCSUS) and Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI) will co-host an online conference for the sustainability community, on the frontiers of sustainability science.

The online conference is structured over two days (14-15 February 2022) with international keynote panel speakers, moderated discussions, breakout groups and discussion sessions.
