Awareness of the significance of sustainability is growing rapidly, with particular emphasis on sustainable development as an area of concern. Issues related to sustainability crosscut many boundaries, as they are both trans-disciplinary and trans-organizational in nature. A commitment to sustainable development requires enlightenment within organizations as well as at the government level, appropriate infrastructure as well as management of uncertainty and risk. Above all, a commitment to sustainable development requires sound knowledge on which to base decisions, as well as effective knowledge management approaches to support crucial processes of knowledge creation, sharing and dissemination to support sustainability issues. Knowledge for sustainability highlights the need for new knowledge, for new ways of managing knowledge, and for new work practices to support this process.
