Sustainable development is a long-term strategy aimed at creating a thriving\, equitable\, and stable world without compromising the needs of future generations. Preparedness\, by contrast\, focuses on short-term responses that minimise loss\, support recovery\, and strengthe n our ability to cope with imminent crises.At times\, investments in rapid response may place strain on commitments to sustainable development. Like wise\, long-term sustainability measures can appear to conflict with urgen t security needs. Yet there are also important synergies: both sustainabil ity and preparedness seek to build more resilient societies.What is the re lationship between conflict\, preparedness and sustainability? Are we forc ed to choose\, or can society be made both resilient in the short term and regenerative in the long-term?  \;What is the role of knowledge-produ ction at universities in the changes that we are currently going through? Our Shared Future: Conflict and Sustainability\, invites us to explore the se intersections in an open\, forward-looking\, and critical fashion.About the conferenceThis is a one day conference organised by the Lund Universi ty Research Board in collaboration with the Sustainability Forum at Lund U niversity.The conference is aimed at researchers associated with Lund Univ ersity\, as well as other researchers\, stakeholders\, and students who wi sh to join the discussions and learn more about the topic.
