The TCESG Conference, hosted at the picturesque Kruger National Park in Phalaborwa, South Africa, represents a pivotal gathering for sustainability research and practice. This event is organized by the Transformations Community, a vibrant network of 'pracademics'—a blend of practitioners and researchers—who are dedicated to addressing pressing issues related to climate change and other critical threats to social-ecological systems. The Transformations Community serves as a generative space that fosters collaboration across diverse disciplines and sectors, encouraging knowledge exchange and the experimentations necessary for real-world impact.
