Thriving through Transformation: Ideas for Local to Global Sustainability – an Overview
Boyd Blackwell – ANZSEE, University of New England, Australia
The articles published in this special issue come from the blind peer review and refinement of papers presented to the biennial conference of the Australia New Zealand Society for Ecological Economics (ANZSEE) held at the University of New England (UNE) in Armidale, New South Wales (NSW), Australia on 19-23 October 2015. All papers jointly contribute to helping transform the human existence toward one that is socially, culturally, environmentally, ecologically, economically and politically sustainable. Transforming our human existence to meet these multiple dimensions of
‘true’ sustainability is a difficult task, balancing potentially competing interests and, inevitably, involving trade-offs between these dimensions.
As current President of ANZSEE and Chair of the organising committee of the 2015 biennial conference of the same name as this special issue, I am pleased to provide an overview of the conference and discuss the articles presented in this issue.
