This introductory textbook content draws from a wide range of disciplines that define the emerging 21st century field of sustainability science, including anthropology, business, ecology, economics, science and technology studies, sociology, urban planning, and major others. The book's focus is on developing five key sustainability competencies (system thinking, normative, anticipatory, strategic, and interpersonal) that foster the knowledge, skills, and understandings needed by change-agents to resolve sustainability problems in the real-world. The book includes an introduction to sustainability and socio-ecological system complexity and also to each component of the sustainability science problem solving approach: current state analysis, future scenarios, visioning, and transition strategies.
