Interdisciplinary Solutions For A Sustainable Future

Sustainability science is a trans-disciplinary framework addressing cultural, ethical, political, social, legal, economic, technological, and natural science issues. It requires combining research from various disciplines to understand the complex interplay between human societies and the environment.

Systems-Based Research

Sustainability science focuses on interactions between objects/units in nature and society. For example, addressing future food demands involves not just increasing production efficiency but also considering dietary choices and food waste. The University of Copenhagen, with its diverse faculties, is well-equipped to train sustainability professionals and conduct impactful research.

Study Sustainability

Students can explore sustainability through courses related to different SDGs and entire programmes on climate change, natural resource management, and the environment. The university also offers MOOCs for the broader public to benefit from its research on sustainable development.
