Sustainability is a highly complex topic, containing interwoven economic, ecological, and social aspects. Simply defining the concept of sustainability is a challenge in itself. Assessing the impact of sustainability efforts and generating effective policy requires analyzing the interactions and challenges presented by these different aspects. To address this challenge, it is necessary to develop methods that bridge fields and take into account phenomena that range from physical analysis of climate to network analysis of societal phenomena. In this talk, I will give an insight into areas of mathematical research that try to account for these inter-dependencies. The aim of this talk is to provide a critical discussion of the challenges in a joint discussion and emphasize the importance of multi-disciplinary approaches.
