ABSTRACT
Sustainability and sustainable development are becoming increasingly relevant in the global agenda of governments as well as businesses and civil society. The concept of sustainability is used to define successful human activities, processes and interactions from an integrated social-environmental-economic viewpoint. Systems thinking and, specifically, the Viable Systems Approach can be adopted as meta-level frameworks that provide general interpretation schemes to support understanding of complex phenomena like sustainability. Dealing with the complexity of sustainability and sustainable development requires crossing of discipline borders through boundary interaction. The chapter aims to provide a call for collaboration among scholars and practitioners from various domains to co-create knowledge for sustainability. It dwescribes insights for rethinking research, education, policy making and management approaches by putting sustainability at the centre of a shared science, policy and business agenda opening up new research pathways to collaboratively address the challenges of a more intelligent world.
