Interdisciplinary Workshop on Sustainability Research
Interdisciplinary Workshop on Sustainability Research
Sustainability research in economics, law and political science was the theme discussed during a two-day workshop organised by Prof. Sandra Eckert at the Chair of Comparative Politics. The aim of the interdisciplinary exchange that comprised six thematic panels was to identify the range of approaches used when analysing important environmental policy issues, and to develop a common basis for interdisciplinary exchange. Throughout the discussion the participants engaged in a fruitful exchange on topical issues such as the assessment of the economic costs and social acceptance of the energy transition, or the role of companies in complying with reporting duties. The increasing regulatory uncertainty caused by legislative change and litigation, the politicisation of environmental issues and an altered geopolitical environment offer exciting prospects for future research into sustainability issues.
