The 17th meeting of the Junior Research Group "Environmental Sociology" was held on October 8th and 9th in Hamburg via Zoom. Under the heading "Behind the BuzzWord: understanding the concept of transformation in the sustainability debate", the conference aimed at an environmental-sociological reflection of the transformation concept.

The conference offered space for exchange for doctoral or master students of social sciences that deal with topics in the fields of environment, sustainability or climate change. Theoretical and empirical contributions were presented at the meeting and covered a wide range of topics, from the role of environmental sociology at the interface with other social actors to workshop reports from transdisciplinary projects or practical consideration of research transfer.
