‘Just’ sustainability

April 28, 2010

Toward a ‘just’ sustainability 

Sustainability is often thought of as ‘science’. In this lecture, Julian Agyeman argues we have the science of sustainability, but what we don’t have is the ‘social science’: how to get people, policy makers, planners and politicians invested in and able to make change.  To do this we must take seriously the social justice and equity implications of sustainability.

Julian Agyeman is Professor and Chair of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University.

Sponsored by Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions (PICS), SFU Centre for Sustainable Community Development and the SFU City Program.

May 5, 7 pm
Venue: SFU Harbour Centre, 515 West Hastings Street, Vancouver
