The 5th World Sustainability Forum aims to be a platform for researchers to present and engage with others on issues relating to sustainability within this historical context. We seek to contribute to policy-relevant, change-oriented, and transdisciplinary research and collaboration from science and technology, the life sciences, and the social sciences. Three thematic areas have been identified to structure this event:
| Thematic Area Sustainability Dimension | Economic Development | Social Development | Environmental Protection |
| Sustainable Science, Technology, and Energy | Panel 1 | Panel 2 | Panel 3 |
| Sustainable Consumption, Lifestyles, Mobility, and Cities | Panel 4 | Panel 5 | Panel 6 |
| Sustainability in Economics, Business, and Management | Panel 7 | Panel 8 | Panel 9 |
As part of the output of this conference, we plan to publish a special issue in Sustainability, as well as three edited books, one for each of the three thematic areas. We, the co-chairs of the conference and I, as well as the organizing institutions, are looking forward to welcoming you at the 5th World Sustainability Forum at the University of Basel from 7 to 9 September 2015
