Empowering Change: Social Sustainability in Action

Hello!  

Welcome to this blog's first entry😄 

Reserach dissemination activities, as posting here, allow us researchers to bring science closer to the audience, be it fellow academics, industry partners, intitutions or laypeople. It might make you spear a thought on the topic and learn new interesting things, it can create a community of like-minded individuals and even can serve as breeding ground for future's innovations.

In the following video by Alex, from Youtube channel "Sustainability Illustrated" you can find a brief introduction on what social sustainability really is, the impoirtance of good leadership on social systems are and how these rely on their adaptive capacity.  

The video delves into the main drivers of adaptive capacity in social systems, namely trust, diversity, capacity for learning, capacity for self-organisation and common meaning.

Hope you find this video informative and interesting!

I would also like to use this entry to link my own researcher accounts in the main platforms (they are also accesible from the sidebar menu), so that you can keep up with any news and upcoming events: Google Scholar, ORCID and About-me.

Moreover, given the relevance that being aware of the latest developments has in research, I'll leave you here a couple of other blogs commenting on sustainability and social change. The first one revolves around Social Change and is curated by the Social Change Agency. A second recommendation is to suscribe the Life Cycle Initiative newsletter, as Life Cycle Sustainability Asssessment is the currently preferred methodology to address sustainability measurements from the social, environmental and economic points of view, and the newsletter provide monthly uipdates on projects' results, confreneces, courses and many other topics of interest.
