Sustainability studies is an academic discipline that focuses on the interdisciplinary perspective of the concept of sustainability. Programs include instruction in sustainable development, geography, environmental policies, ethics, ecology, landscape architecture, city and regional planning, economics, natural resources, sociology, and anthropology.^[1] Sustainability studies also focuses on the importance of climate change, poverty, social justice and environmental justice.^[2] More recently, many studies have explored a certain blending of theories to address sustainability issues. Among these concepts, the definition of social learning for sustainability stands out.^[3] Many universities across the world currently offer sustainability studies as a degree program. The main goal of sustainability studies is for students to find ways to develop novel solutions to environmental problems.^[4]
