About

The Sustainability programme offered by Anglia Ruskin University explores sustainability challenges through research into socio-ecological systems, systems change, governance, community engagement, and the factors that shape sustainable futures.

Overview

This Sustainability programme offered by Anglia Ruskin University focuses on understanding how environmental, social, economic, and institutional systems interact and how transformative change can be achieved in response to sustainability challenges. Research is centred on themes including complex socio-ecological systems, creativity and imagination, everyday experiences and emotion, participation, policy development, governance, and institutional change.

Key Facts

Candidates undertake interdisciplinary investigation within the Global Sustainability Institute, working across perspectives drawn from economics, geography, international relations, psychology, sociology, environmental social science, communications, mathematics, and computer modelling. Research is supported by collaborations with government, industry, and external organisations, enabling researchers to contribute new knowledge that informs sustainability practice and decision-making.
