Sustainability Methods

Sustainability Methods is an innovative online platform designed to advance the field of Sustainability Science. Developed by Prof. Dr. Henrik von Wehrden and his dedicated team at Leuphana University, the Wiki offers a comprehensive repository of scientific methods, terms, and tools relevant to sustainability research. It serves as a vital resource for students, researchers, and educators, aiming to bridge the gap in empirical knowledge and practical action within the discipline.

The platform features four distinct sub-wikis: Courses, which align with university curricula; Methods, detailing essential scientific approaches; Hacks, Habits & Tools, offering practical skills for both scientific and non-scientific work; and Normativity of Methods, exploring the ethical dimensions of scientific practice. A standout feature is the Method Recommendation Tool (MRT), which helps users expand their methodological repertoire by connecting familiar methods with new, relevant approaches. Continuously updated and refined, Sustainability Methods fosters a collaborative environment for knowledge sharing in sustainability research.
