Sustainability is gaining significant attention across various functional sectors and scientific disciplines, as policymakers, practitioners, and academics grapple with the complexities of risk, resilience, and sustainability. However, due to the interdisciplinary nature of these challenges, finding authoritative and comprehensive content in a single source can be a daunting task. Sustainability Science: Managing Risk and Resilience for Sustainable Development, Second Edition, addresses this gap by providing a comprehensive and updated perspective on the field. The book asserts that the sustainability of humankind is threatened by four fundamental challenges: complexity, uncertainty, ambiguity, and dynamic change. While acknowledging the absence of silver bullets, the book proposes a holistic approach that incorporates systems, risk, participatory, and resilience approaches to address these challenges. Part I of the book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the world, highlighting the pressing issues and challenges facing humanity. Part II of the book offers a framework for approaching the world, emphasizing the need for a systems-based perspective and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration. Finally, Part III of the book explores strategies for changing the world, providing practical insights and examples of successful initiatives. Overall, Sustainability Science: Managing Risk and Resilience for Sustainable Development, Second Edition, is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding and addressing the complex challenges of sustainability. Its comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach makes it an essential tool for policymakers, practitioners, and academics alike.
