Geography is a discipline with a profound interdisciplinary character focusing on studying the complex interactions between nature and society. Geography can advance the level of knowledge and awareness and provide important contributions to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. This book explores some of these issues, while also disseminating and supporting the efforts of geographers worldwide to promote the implementation of the SDGs. It offers local and global perspectives to a variety of topics covered by the SDGs, such as:
- How do different actors such as universities, companies and education actors respond to Sustainable Development Goals, especially during the complex context of the COVID pandemic?
- What is the role of novel spatial technologies and open/big data in achieving SDGs and how can Geography assist?
- How are new eco-social challenges positioned in a post-pandemic global change?
- What are novel educational contexts and resources that can be used to transform society toward sustainability of socioecological systems?
- What conceptual frameworks and strategies can contribute to the construction of societies based on human welfare and the care of nature?
This book is focused on innovative sustainability-oriented geographical research on the above (and more) topics that explore the diverse social, environmental, economic and cultural contexts at various spatial scales. It also includes chapters that report on geographical education initiatives in schools and universities, the implication of geographers in community-based learning and increasing community's awareness in terms of environment, climate change and sustainable development as well as chapters that make use of geospatial technologies (e.g., remote sensing, GIS, etc.) both in geographical research and education forsustainable development are particularly relevant for the book.
