'''Sustainability Science''' is an emerging field of research dealing with the interactions between natural and social systems, and with how those interactions affect the challenge of sustainability: meeting the needs of present and future generations while substantially reducing poverty and conserving the planet's life support systems. It is a field defined by the problems it addresses rather than the disciplines it employs. It serves as a bridge between the natural, social and human sciences, and is focused on the complex interactions between a myriad of factors.

== Definition ==

[[Sustainability Science]] is defined as the study of the interactions between natural and social systems, and with how those interactions affect the challenge of sustainability. It is a field that is not defined by the disciplines it employs, but rather by the problems it addresses.

== History ==

The field of Sustainability Science emerged in the early 21st century as a new academic discipline. This new field was officially recognized by the [[National Science Foundation]] (NSF) in 2000.

== Principles ==

Sustainability Science is guided by a set of core principles. These principles include the need to understand the interactions between natural and social systems, the importance of sustainability as a societal challenge, and the need for interdisciplinary research.

== Research Methods ==

Research in Sustainability Science is often interdisciplinary, involving the integration of physical, biological, and social sciences. Methods used in this field include [[systems analysis]], [[computer modeling]], and [[scenario analysis]].

== Applications ==

Sustainability Science has a wide range of applications, from informing policy decisions to guiding resource management. It is used in fields such as [[urban planning]], [[agriculture]], and [[energy production]].

== Challenges ==

Despite its potential, Sustainability Science faces several challenges. These include the need for better integration of knowledge across disciplines, the need for more effective communication of research findings, and the need for more robust methods for assessing the sustainability of various actions and policies.
