Promotion of sustainable development has become an increasingly acute issue globally. Implementation of global sustainability goals (SDGs) need to be done in the context of localities; otherwise, initiatives may not resonate with the local culture and practices. Thus, it is necessary to learn about best practices of localizing SDGs, consider conflicts or social injustices that may arise from divergent ideas and practices of sustainability, and discuss ways these problems can be solved. The themed issue focuses on finding ways to align the global concerns of sustainability with the local everyday issues and challenges to advance sustainability more efficiently.

This themed issue welcomes submissions discussing global-local interaction in advancement of sustainability. Topics of the contributions may range from management strategies and practices to community initiatives and urban planning, in order to address questions such as:

  • How do local practices and initiatives connect and contribute to the advancement of global sustainability?
  • What challenges and impacts can arise from the localization of global sustainability goals? How can these be managed?
  • How can various actors and their power relations in sustainability management be acknowledged? How can cooperative sustainable practices between different actors with divergent interests be promoted?

The deadline for submitting full papers is April 15, 2023.
