Sustainability studies is an academic discipline that examines sustainability through an interdisciplinary lens. Programs may include instruction in sustainable development, geography, environmental policies, ethics, ecology, landscape architecture, city and regional planning, economics, natural resources, sociology, and anthropology.[1] Sustainability studies also considers the importance of issues such as climate change, poverty, social justice and environmental justice.[2] More recently, many studies have used established theories, such as social learning, to address sustainability issues.[3] The misconception that sustainability education is too complex for young learners has been debunked.

Many universities across the world offer degree programs in sustainability studies, which aim to equip students with the skills to develop solutions to environmental problems.[5]
