Globally, when the COVID-19 pandemic begins to subside ‘business as usual’ will mean addressing issues of sustainability as the ‘wicked problems’ of sustainable consumer consumption, climate change, refugees, the victims left in the wake of crises and disasters become increasingly relevant to all populations. The presentations in this session will be exploring the role of communication as we forge a more sustainable world. Each of the presentations in this panel explores a different aspect of creating a more sustainable world and the intersection of stakeholder attitudes or behaviors, activism, and the role that different types of organizations will play in shaping this future. These presentations suggest there are meaningful roles for all segments of society to play from actions we can all take towards more responsible consumption to the actions that organizations can take in shaping support and care for the most vulnerable in society. We hope that you will join us for a robust and interdisciplinary discussion about developing a more sustainable world.
