We are actively engaged with the understanding of social/ethical, economic and environmental sustainability in contemporary society.
We understand sustainability in broad terms as relating to economic, social/ethical and environmental perspectives. We do this through research, teaching, and collaboration with external organisations.
Our purpose, ultimately, is to advance scholarship and contribute to positive social change in terms of the contemporary challenges of poverty alleviation, social injustice and climate change. Follow us at: @RHUL_CRIS.
