Introduction
The purpose of this research area is to contribute to enabling the just transition to a sustainable society where humans and the natural environment flourish – rather than exploited, degraded, destroyed. The work aims to create knowledge about sustainable transition particularly through a social scientific lens and from the perspective of organisations, management and work. We approach knowledge production in its broadest sense encompassing teaching and research.
