The purpose of the field class was to answer one question – What are the broader sustainability issues faced within the Sunshine Coast Region and what responses are being developed at the local level to address them? From this, the students explored a research question about an observed sustainability issue and then developed papers that respond to these issues. The resulting report is a compilation of a series of case studies on how organizations in the Sunshine Coast region of British Columbia are addressing complex sustainability issues. Each case also identifies potential examples from other parts of the world where similar issues are being addressed by stakeholders.

Additionally, student prepared commentaries on their case study experience. Over the next few weeks, beginning this week, blog posts will appear every Wednesday about the students' experiences, the sustainability issue they focused on and existing, innovative solutions from around the world that are tackling similar issues.
Keep an eye out for these!
