Why?

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.
