Building Equity and Sustainable Futures

The different sociological traditions have generated knowledge that has contributed to the construction of a more equitable social reality, in intergenerational and gender relations, which demands nowadays working for a more sustainable future from a perspective of adaptation and socio-environmental resilience. This congress links the active construction of equity (based on understanding social inequalities and their dynamics) to respect for biodiversity and social and cultural diversity. It also links it to developing theories, research and social practices, which promote the creation of more sustainable and healthier futures, that would generate more room for freedom, individual happiness, collective well-being and democracy. In a context where the growing accumulation of emergencies is predictable, it is vital to create spaces for reflection and scientific knowledge to use our sociological knowledge and tools to respond to emergencies and anticipate them in a consistent manner with building the best alternatives for the future.
