Research in the spotlight: sustainable development

How can we get to grips with societal challenges, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs?

It concerns the environment and climate, but also sustainable health, and societies that are socially and economically sustainable. Linköping researchers are deeply involved with preparing the pathway to a more sustainable society.
