Authors
Building on the on-going discussion about topical knowledge, social learning and sustainable development, this article discusses the problem horizon of non-sustainable development in order to highlight the necessity of social learning processes and to discuss the relevant conceptual approaches to social learning. It is argued that in order to meet the challenges of global environmental changes, social learning based on scientific and practical knowledge is essential. The article ends with a review of methods and procedures of initiating social learning in social practice.
