Transformations to Sustainability

About the programme

The NORFACE and Belmont Forum Transformations to Sustainability (T2S) research programme contributes to re-structuring the domain of sustainability research by putting the social sciences, as well as the humanities, at the heart of interdisciplinary research on sustainability, making a step change in scale and scope for research programming in this area. The T2S programme funds twelve transnational research projects that tackle a wide range of complex challenges on transformations to sustainability and that integrate knowledge and capabilities from around the world. The knowledge produced by the research projects will be of use to researchers, practitioners and policymakers across a multitude of sectors, in their efforts to advance transformative change. About
