This issue of COHESION focuses on Sustainability, timely given the recent deliberations on climate change in Durban. Here we have taken a broad view of sustainability: ensuring that future generations have access to the same opportunities as ours. Often focussed on environmental quality, sustainability equally includes social and economic dimensions, all three intricately linked. The articles in this issue are drawn from all parts of the Faculty, and cover research, teaching and other aspects of the Faculty’s activities. The activities covered range from environmental research informing sustainable use of our natural resources, through to novel solar power nano-technologies designed to reduce our environmental footprint and offering cost savings.
