A Conference Series & Community Of Practice

The Transformations Community is a generative space and a catalyzing force for sustainability research and practice. Our global community of transformation “pracademics” (both practitioner and researcher) is responding to a growing recognition that we need new approaches to address climate change and other existential threats to social-ecological systems.
