Project Objective

The goal of the project is twofold: i) to create or strengthen national-level communities of practice in SSF in six countries (Colombia, Ecuador, Kenya, Madagascar, Mexico & Nigeria), including scientists and non-scientists, and ii) to gather and analyze existing knowledge about the interactions between SSF and SDGs in those countries through those networks. Specific objectives will include: • Developing nation-wide communities of practice in six selected country case studies; • Designing generic methods that can capture the interactions between SSF and SDGs, including selecting indicators for assessing interactions in the selected countries; • Identifying SSF data sources and data gaps that can inform selected indicators; • Assessing evidence-informed synergies and trade-offs between SDG indicators in the context of country-level case studies; • Identifying relevant pathways for sustainability in different national contexts and providing recommendations to move forward.

Call Objective

The goal of this CRA is to provide a science base for achieving sustainability goals. The CRA will support 1-2 years of collaborative research networking activities that focus on integrated qualitative and quantitative approaches to develop Earth-system-based transformation pathways for sustainable development.
