Dear Colleagues,

Call for Contributions: World Symposium on Sustainability Communication (WSSSC), on-line, 28th June 2024

In order to cater for a wider participation, the World Symposium on Sustainability Communication (WSSSC), will be held on-line on Friday, 28th June 2024.

The event aims to offer a platform for sustainability communication researchers from the America, Australasia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East region to document and present their works in the field of sustainability communication, across various audiences. The theme of the symposium is "Empowering Sustainability Through Communication".

WSSC 2024 has three primary objectives as follows:

    To provide a platform for researchers in the field of sustainability communication to present their works.
    To provide a venue for researchers to publish their works in a Scopus-indexed book as part of the World Sustainability Series
    To offer an opportunity for researchers to network and establish future collaboration with scholars working with sustainability communication.

As an output and long-term documentation of the event, selected papers will be published in the book "Communicating Sustainable Development Across Audiences" which will follow on the success of the "Encyclopedia of Sustainability in Higher Education" https://link.springer.com/referencework/10.1007/978-3-319-63951-2 which is a "living edition", and the "Encyclopedia of the UN Sustainable Development Goals" https://www.springer.com/series/15893, the largest editorial project on sustainable development ever undertaken. The book will be  produced as part of the World Sustainability Series https://www.springer.com/series/13384, published  by Springer Nature, which is fully indexed. All papers are peer-reviewed and publications in the book series have been officially counting for promotion and tenure purposes over the years.
