It uncovers areas that need transforming if sustainability transformations are to emerge... In response, this t-learning transformative knowledge network, focusing specifically on transgressive social learning for social-ecological sustainability in times of climate change, will seek to uncover and enable t-learning processes at the climate-energy-food-water security and social justice nexus. We aim to generate, surface and describe qualities of T-learning processes, and their role and contribution to..
