Towards symbiotic approaches between universities, sustainable development, and cities.

Universities are key actors and play a central role in the cities which host them, either as employers, consumers or simply as a magnet to young people and cultural activities. They can be also influencers and supporters of cities in the field of sustainable development. Through an exploratory method and aiming to explore the efforts deployed to foster closer links between universities, sustainable development, and cities and address a literature gap in this regard, this study considers the contribution of universities to sustainable development at the city level.

Community voices: Achieving real diversity in STEM requires the ability to transform institutions.

Resilience is often invoked to address systemic marginalization (e.g. racism) in academia but inadvertently maintains harmful systems.

Development of a graphical resilience framework to understand a coupled human-natural system in a remote arid highland of Baja California Sur.

Unlabelled: Hydrological systems are important to society as water resources and effective management requires an understanding of how water and humans influence each other. To describe human-water connections it is necessary to bridge social and natural sciences. To this end, we construct an interdisciplinary graphical framework for evaluating potential human-water system resilience, which is a tool to show the spatial and temporal response to system change of both human and natural systems.
