Sustainable responses to global challenges

What does a sustainable future look like, and how do we get there? At LSE our researchers are exploring innovative ideas to understand and reshape the systems of finance, economy, politics and society that stand in the way of change, convened by the Global School of Sustainability.

In 2026, our "Future proof" series goes behind the scenes with some of LSE’s sustainability experts to understand more about what a sustainable and resilient future looks like, and how the social sciences will help us build it. First episode coming Tuesday 10 February.
