Convergence: How can it be a part of the pathway to sustainability?

Abstract: This study explores the barriers and opportunities for the C&C concept to be applied to other aspects of socio-ecological sustainability. This analysis does not attempt to examine in detail the political challenges of its implementation, but rather asks whether and where it is relevant. The paper unpacks the C&C framework used for climate change, and asks which of its core principles could be applicable to a pathway towards the end goal of a sustainable human society.
