How interdisciplinary is sustainability research? Analyzing the structure of an emerging scientific field (2011, background): “…2011) and overcoming challenges than by the disciplines it employs (Clark 2007), while researchers have been urged to focus on the dynamic interactions of the global, human, and social (Komiyama and Takeuchi 2006) or social and ecological systems (Holling 2001; Clark and Dickson 2003; Ostrom 2009).”
Environmental Psychology and Sustainable Development: Expansion, Maturation, and Challenges (2007, background): “First, " sustainability science " has been defined by some authors (e.g., Clark & Dickson, 2003) without any reference to the level of analysis employed by most environmental psychologists.”
Integrating local and scientific knowledge for environmental management. (2010, background): “, Geels, 2002, 2005); sustainability science (e.g., Kates et al., 2001; Clark and Dickson, 2003) and sustainability education (Fazey, in press).”
Out of the Loop: Why Research Rarely Reaches Policy Makers and the Public and What Can be Done (2009, background): “…processes are also present in biocultural research and development, such as sustainability science (Cash et al. 2003), knowledge systems (Clark & Dickson 2003), integrated natural resource management (INRM; Sayer & Campbell 2003), and adaptive collaborative management (ACM; Colfer 2008).”
A relational turn for sustainability science? Relational thinking, leverage points and transformations (2020, background): “Over the past 20 or so years, the transdisciplinary field of sustainability science has provided a fertile space in which to generate alternative paradigms better suited to addressing complex sustainability challenges (Clark and Dickson 2003).”
An operational model for mainstreaming ecosystem services for implementation (2008, background): “However, the recent emergence of sustainability science (11) is a very positive development.”
Assessing vulnerabilities to the effects of global change: an eight step approach (2005, background): “sustainable development and sustainability science, where successful research is measured by not only pure scientific merit but also by the of the products and recommendations (Kates et al., Clark and Dickson, 2003 ) . 2.2 The Roots of Vulnerability Globa l change assessments are the product of thr”
The sustainability of international higher education: Student mobility and global climate change (2019, background): “in energy production, transportation, and manufacturing), resulting in a “win-win” situation that reduces GHG emissions while preserving or advancing quality of life (Bailey and Wilson, 2009; Clark and Dickson, 2003; Komiyama and Takeuchi, 2006).”
Land-Change Science and Political Ecology: Similarities, Differences, and Implications for Sustainability Science (2008, background): “Science for public use is a major goal of sustainability (159, 160).”
Coproductive capacities: rethinking science-governance relations in a diverse world (2015, background): “Widespread concern over persistent inaction on pressing environmental issues has generated substantial interest in the complex relationships between science and policy, politics, and society (Cash et al. 2003, Clark and Dickson 2003, Jasanoff and Long Martello 2004, van Kerkhoff and Lebel 2006).”
A systemic framework for sustainability assessment (2015, background): “…of sustainability with a greater willingness to join up with the development and other communities to work on practical solutions to those problems” (Clark and Dickson, 2003, p. 8059); • sustainability science embodies the scientific possibility of transcending the reductionist analyses of…”
