Conversation on Sustainability with Experts on Human-Systems Science

Sustainability is a systems problem with humans as integral elements of the system.

However, existing sociotechnical systems analysis tools are too narrow and require additional considerations. In this presentation Professor Andrew Thatcher External link, opens in new window. will explore the relevant complex systems thinking requirements necessary to tackle global problems such as sustainability. Andrew Thatcher is Chair of Industrial and Organisational Psychology at the University of the Witwatersrand External link, opens in new window. in South Africa.
