Overarching Theme: Knowledge for Sustainable Development

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventOrganisation of workshop/ seminar/ course

Description

Sustainable development has been researched for decades. Yet, the development and progress of transforming our society is slow. Why? Is the existing knowledge not conveyed? Are there knowledge gaps that need to be identified and assessed? Many societal actors working with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG´s) find the goals contradicting and must make trade-offs. How do we overcome conflicts of interest and conflicts between goals? Can we improve collaboration and synergies between goals? Are there underlying issues that need to be addressed further in order to resolve others? What does science say about enabling and constraining factors? Are there areas where we have succeeded and can learn from and transfer to other sectors and goals? What role can culture and art play in production and dissemination of knowledge for sustainable development?
