DECOLONISING SUSTAINABILITY

The concept of decolonising sustainability involves critically examining and reshaping the way sustainability is understood, taught, and practiced addressing historical inequalities, power dynamics, and cultural biases that have shaped the field. This theme acknowledges the historical legacies of colonisation, exploitation, and cultural dominance that have influenced traditional sustainability narratives and practices. It seeks to challenge and transform these paradigms to create a more inclusive, equitable, and culturally diverse understanding of sustainability.
