We believe that sustainability is an urgent applied problem, and that sustainability solutions can be enhanced and accelerated through the use of cultural evolutionary frameworks.
Join the Group
During the recent CES 2018 in Tempe, a group of about twenty researchers met to discuss our shared interests in using cultural evolutionary approaches to sustainability. Our group, composed of academics, consultants and non-academic researchers is seeking to create an official Sustainability Working Group of the CES.
Generally, we believe that sustainability is an urgent applied problem, and that sustainability solutions can be enhanced and accelerated through the use of cultural evolutionary frameworks. The working group contains members of a growing international network of researchers who share this goal, with a membership of around 35 participants, many of whom have published on the topic ([1], [2], [3]).
The group hopes to increase the scope and reach of research that draws on cultural evolutionary approaches to sustainability and applications of cultural evolution research generally. We invite CES members or cultural evolutionists with an interest in sustainability to join our group (join here). We are especially looking for more female representation, so women evolutionists who care about the planet are especially invited!
