Description

NERC, ESRC and The Rockefeller Foundation are working together towards the ambitious goal of identifying the urgent research priorities and innovation challenges that may inform and catalyse a paradigm shift in our global approach to sustainable development. The nature of our 21st Century development challenges requires a shift in thinking and action that will better prepare us for future challenges, while enabling more effective development interventions today. The inspiration for our collaboration is the core premise that the environment-human relationship must be central to our sustainable development solutions. We recognise that maintaining the resilience of our ecosystems, the security of natural resources and the stability of earth's life-support systems is necessary for humans to thrive. Equally and complementarily, economic growth and the alleviation of poverty, the strengthening of human rights and good governance, and the promotion of social cohesion many generate social conditions more amenable to environmental sustainability. The work will be framed by the current global context, including in particular the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), now termed 'UN Global Goals'.

NERC is seeking an individual or team to produce a synthesis of past and current research and innovation relating to the policy landscape surrounding the environment-human relationships and systems that interact across the UN Global Goals.
