This collection contains selected papers from the 2nd International Conference on Science and Its Applications “Sustainable Innovation in Natural Science, Economic and Business Science, and Social Science” (2nd ICOSIAS 2021) held in Kendari, South East Sulawesi Indonesia on the 11^th of December 2021 and was hosted by the Research and Outreach Institute of Halu Oleo University.

The conference was held to showcase how innovations in social sciences, arts and humanities can be used and applied to sustainable development.

This KnE Social Sciences collection contains 28 peer-reviewed papers in the field of natural science, economics and business science, as well as social sciences. The research presented celebrates a more holistic definition of sustainability. While understanding that ecological protection and prevention are key, the research showcases why society cannot successfully produce a sustainable strategy without prioritising social justice and equity in its mission. Language barriers in the Global South, gender empowerment, education, and children’s rights are all presented as key caveats to the success of the global sustainability movement, while continued developments in environmental sciences continue to be explored.

These papers will be of interest to academics, students or professionals researching or working in the fields of natural science, economic and business science, and social science.
