Santa Clara University is committed to fostering a more humane, just, and sustainable world. To that end, the University has developed a distinctive and substantial research focus on justice and sustainability by increasing faculty research and enhancing research collaborations in these areas. This themed research collection highlights research activities and scholarly work that explicitly address the concept of sustainability, further our understanding of the interdependence of ecological and social/cultural/economic systems, or focus on a sustainability challenge. Major sustainability challenges include (but are not limited to) climate change, global poverty and inequality, and others referenced in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Laudato Si' Goals.
