Abstract
Environmental, food and economic crises now pre-occupy global publics and policymakers. The world faces critical challenges involving complex interactions of social, technical and ecological processes. Science and technology are advancing rapidly but its benefits are felt unevenly, and marginal people and places in Africa, Asia and Latin America often lose out. Navigating complexities, while meeting moral and political imperatives for poverty alleviation, social justice and environmental sustainability, present formidable challenges. Yet many opportunities are coming into view, from citizen-led initiatives in sustainable energy and water management, to novel approaches to address health-environment linkages or build food security for small farmers amidst climate change. More than ever, we need modes of understanding and action that break with past categories, give priority to the perspectives, priorities and creativity of people struggling to escape poverty and marginalisation, and engage politics and institutions to support their efforts and aspirations.
The STEPS (Social, Technological and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability) Centre at Sussex works with partners around the world in research, policy engagement and capacity building to address these challenges and build pathways to sustainability. Building on Phase I's achievements and in today's newly vital context, we now propose a programme to enrich and deepen the Centre's hallmark 'pathways' approach in relation to new, pressing issues. Integrating development studies with science and technology studies, and in thoroughgoing engagement with natural scientists and users, we aim to achieve theoretical and practical advances in 'negotiating complexity in a dynamic world', and 'making science and technology work for people and the environment'. To do this, we will develop new understandings of how the themes of 'dynamics', 'governance' and 'designs' interact. We will advance theory and processes of pathway-building by engaging with six key conceptual areas: 'transitions and transformation'; 'diversity and complexity'; 'political ecology and economy'; 'knowledge and imaginaries'; 'citizenship and participation'; 'innovation and distribution'. We will build on links with the Sussex Energy Group to develop a new domain on Energy and Climate, complementing continuing work on Water and Sanitation, Food and Agriculture, and Health and Disease. And we will develop and undertake, with partners, natural scientists and potential research users, a new set of located, cross-sectoral and cross-thematic projects, integrated into four clusters. Risk and security: institutions for complex systems' will address issues of securitization and risk in global systems, and of formality and informality in urban environments. 'Socio-technical transitions in a changing climate will address niche pathways and sustainability transitions in food and energy, and 'uncertainty from 'below' and 'above' in responding to climate change. Political ecologies of global transformation will address carbon in relation to land and livelihoods in rural Africa, and the dynamics of global commodity chains, focusing on meat and soybean. The socio-ecological dynamics of disease will address zoonotic disease risks in intensifying livestock production systems, and new approaches to integrated vector management. We will also undertake two major cross-cutting workstreams, developing a toolbox of novel interdisciplinary Methods and Methodologies for analysing sustainability issues, and expanding and integrating our work on Impact, Communications and Engagement, following up our high profile New Manifesto project and bringing new ideas, evidence and approaches to international processes around Rio plus 20, the MDGs and beyond. These work streams will further integrate the Centre's work, and enable a wide range of outreach activities geared to building pathways to sustainability and social justice in diverse contexts.

Planned Impact
The STEPS Centre is committed to linking research with impact. We want our ideas to make a difference. With issues of science, technology, environment and development so high on the global agenda, and the challenges of sustainability, inequality and social justice so pressing, we have an extraordinary opportunity to engage with vitally important debates. Across our domain work (on agriculture/food, health/disease, water/sanitation and climate/energy) and in relation to our projects areas, we will identify a range of key users - in governments, in the UN systems, in aid donors, in NGOs, in business and among community groups. We will involve these users from the beginning of our research, helping the framing of questions and the implementation of activities. This will enhance our ability to engage, and for our findings to be taken up and translated into policy and action.
In Phase II we will establish a dedicated Impact, Communications and Engagement (ICE) unit which will work with STEPS research teams and partners to facilitate linkages between research and policy change. This will involve using the PIPA (participatory impact pathways) approach at the beginning of all Centre activities, and as a basis for systematic planning, as well as impact monitoring and evaluation. PIPA mapping exercises will enable the strategic mapping of potential pathways of influence, and a prioritisation of communications and influencing efforts. This will take place for all four domain areas and all eight projects. The ICE unit will build on the effective communications and outreach platform developed during Phase I, including the STEPS website, our publications and events series, our mailing lists and partner networks. In Phase II, we will extend Web 2.0 approaches for enhancing dissemination and engagement, and work more closely with an international media group.
During Phase II, the Centre will prioritise a series of international policy processes for engagement. These will include inputs into the Rio plus 20 Earth Summit process, a proposed report on science and technology for development under the UN Commission for Science and Technology and the debate about what architecture for aid should follow the Millennium Development Goal framework from 2015. This will provide an opportunity to take the STEPS Centre 'New Manifesto' forward, building on the international 'new manifesto' network from China, India, Kenya and Latin America established during Phase I. In order to enhance impact and influence, the Centre will seek strategic partnerships in this work with, among others, the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), the Third World Academy of Sciences and the Global Knowledge Initiative.

Description | Through research in 28 projects in 30 countries around the world since 2006, the STEPS Centre has developed and explored a 'pathways approach' to understanding and informing how sustainability is pursued and realised (see the STEPS Centre's Final Report at https://steps-centre.org/final-report). The approach integrates ideas from many academic fields about systems, framings, narratives, governance, the politics of knowledge and how knowledge is constructed and used. The STEPS Centre has taken these often complex ideas and shown how they can be applied to diverse settings and problems from local to global scales - from water provision in peri-urban Delhi, to conflict over land deals, to global climate negotiations (for an example, see https://medium.com/steps-impact-stories/from-land-grabs-to-the-anthropocene-exploring-the-politics-of-resources-d9799dad6b70) . The pathways approach has been further embedded in both wider political economy perspectives and practice theory, extending our understandings of power dynamics and the politics of opening up and closing down. The STEPS Centre has made a well-regarded contribution to interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary methods for sustainability research, through the STEPS methods portal (https://steps-centre.org/methods/). This includes a collection of 18 examples showing how methods can be used to explore pathways to sustainability, including case studies of their use in STEPS projects, and an introductory guide explaining the thinking behind the methodology and the overall approach. Findings from our projects on health and disease continue to contribute understandings from international contexts to key questions around health systems, the social dimensions of response to infectious disease threats and challenges, and policies and evidence for improved health and wellbeing in contexts of inequality. In particular, they have shown how understanding beliefs, values and politics are crucial in tackling disease outbreaks, notably the Ebola crisis but also around avian flu and other epidemics. The findings had direct implications for UK government policy and humanitarian responses on the ground in West Africa, where healthcare efforts had met with resistance and not understood the significance of local culture, histories and politics (see Researchfish entry 'Influencing responses to the Ebola crisis in West Africa'). In the area of new Technology, Innovation and Skills, our work contributes to improved understanding of the social drivers and implications of technological developments, such as in biotechnology and information technologies, informing global policy. Our work contributes core knowledge on innovation systems, continuing to bring international perspectives to debates about the spread and governance of new technologies. Our Innovation, Sustainability, Development: A New Manifesto project showed the importance of considering the three dimensions of Direction, Distribution and Diversity when shaping science, technology and innovation in different settings. This emerged from a series of 20 roundtables examining the implications for this approach around the world (see https://steps-centre.org/anewmanifesto/). STEPS research helps innovators to understand how their work is embedded in society, and highlights the importance of supporting the 'systems' in which different sectors work together. These each represent important contributions - among many other possible examples (see: https://steps-centre.org/final-report) - because sustainability is too often seen as a series of technical challenges, where expert-led processes can focus in on solutions that can be scaled up and out. The pathways approach and methodology together show that, in fact, sustainability challenges are highly political, responses vary from place to place, and there are concrete and practical, though under-appreciated, ways for citizens to be deeply involved in shaping them. The inclusion of poor and marginalised people in particular may often lead to outcomes that better combine environmental integrity with social justice, as STEPS case studies show (Annex A, sections D, E and F in our Final Report). Over its lifespan the STEPS Centre has built a unique combination of new research networks and collaborations, culminating in the launch of the STEPS-led 'Pathways to Sustainability Global Consortium' in 2016, with hubs in Argentina, China, India, Kenya, North America (USA/Mexico), and Europe (UK/Sweden) (See 'Pathways to Sustainability Global Consortium' on Researchfish). With six global hubs very active and already interacting with each other and raising funds to continue, we have the beginnings of a longer term institutional framework. The hubs are partly supported and strengthened through a related initiative, the annual STEPS Summer School (See 'STEPS Summer School - overview'). Summer School participants from around 40 countries since 2012, together with visiting fellows and PhD students, make up the 300 strong STEPS alumni association. STEPS Centre's global network carries ideas, concepts, methods and practical examples from our work to diverse settings and challenges (see impact story: https://medium.com/steps-impact-stories/navigating-a-tangled-web-how-steps-helped-to-build-a-community-of-new-sustainability-professionals-7b9bb38cd3f2). The STEPS Centre thus contributes to training the next generation of sustainability professionals. This matters because sustainability science has been dominated in the past by rich countries, and insights from the global South are increasingly needed. |
Exploitation Route | In academic terms, the Pathways to Sustainability Global Consortium is taking forward STEPS Centre ideas and methods into new projects in Africa, India, China, Argentina, North America and Europe, including a global initiative supported by the International Social Science Council (ISSC), adapting social learning approaches pioneered by the Stockholm Resilience Centre and others. The ISSC's Transformations to Sustainability Programme cites the STEPS Centre as an example of work to 'build upon and complement' in its latest call. STEPS Centre contributions to thinking on the social dimensions of planetary boundaries are evident in the foundational ideas behind recent influential work on 'Doughnut Economics'. In policy/practice terms, there are examples of STEPS findings being used around the world: examples of this are grassroots innovation at local and policy level, now being continued into work on Open Science in Argentina and related work in Europe on digital futures; to waste management in India (see the Narrative Impact Report on Researchfish) with further implications for policy engagement in India, and the potential for sharing this experience through existing networks with urban researchers and planners in other countries. An invited proposal for a follow-on initiative on rapid transitions, if funded, will take forward STEPS work on transformations (see 'Transformations events - overview') into an online platform and global alliance to support sustainability transitions at community and policy level. In terms of building capacity, alumni of our Summer Schools are extending and adapting STEPS ideas in their own work, supported by a Learning site (see 'STEPS Learning: Online course website'). Evidence of the continued demand for our work is the interest in Summer School places (the ratio of applications to places is around 6:1 each year) and the initial interest in our open-access online course. STEPS materials, including books and video lectures, are used in teaching around the world, and we expect this to grow as our networks expand further. The six 'hubs' in the STEPS Global Consortium, set up and strengthened by funding and knowledge exchanges, intend to increase their interactions with activists and scholars in their regions, continuing to use STEPS-generated materials and methods in their own training and work with policy makers and practitioners. The new Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI) will build on STEPS work on land grabbing with a programme of early career research funding and international conferences. |

Description | The STEPS Centre approach has proven useful in diverse settings from agriculture and food policy to water and sanitation to urban development to confronting health and disease challenges. The range of policy outcomes across domains and projects is too long to list here, but can be seen in Annex A of the STEPS Centre's final report (http://steps-centre.org/final-report), where different activities are described, including those before October 2011 which could not be included in the current submission on Researchfish. We will continue this engagement with policy on a sectoral, geographically specific basis, but also within the wider debate about how a normative-political perspective on sustainability can be applied in development contexts globally, particularly around the implementation of the SDGs. Our work has aimed not just to contribute to economic competitiveness, effectiveness of public services and quality of life in the UK, but to global sustainability goals and to progressive livelihood, wellbeing and distributional agendas for people in the global South. Nevertheless a variety of positive implications for the UK have been achieved: in better-conceived international development, environment and technology funding and programmes; in comparative lessons for the UK context drawn from other settings; and in improved understanding and governance of many issues that are truly global (food, energy, water, global climate change and disease risks), requiring internationally-co-ordinated responses. Some highlights are outlined in this section. In order to influence debates, agendas and policies, the STEPS Centre has disseminated and promoted knowledge and understanding of the social sciences, with an international orientation, and directed towards natural scientists, technical agencies, and policy-making fora as well as to the general public. However, through selected events and media communications we have also contributed to the UK public's understandings and appreciation of social science, especially as applied to international environment and development issues. These include live public debates in Brighton around energy justice and innovation (see 'Public debate: Fuel poverty, climate change and social justice' on Researchfish), a series of events around the UK, some public, on rapid transitions and transformations (see 'Transformations events - overview'), national TV & radio appearances, and articles + commentary in national and international media - see https://steps-centre.org/press-media-coverage for an extensive list). Flexibility has been a strength of the STEPS Centre, highly relevant to our capacity to deliver research with impact. Our ability to re-gear work, building on nearly a decade of continuous effort and strong partnerships in West Africa, allowed us, for example, to respond in real time to the unfolding Ebola crisis in 2014-15. Along with others, our research highlighted the need to recognise the social dimensions of epidemics, and the cultural and political barriers to local people working together effectively with humanitarian and medical interventions. This allowed an evidence-based response, involving solid social science contributions to be brought to bear. The contributions of the STEPS Centre (with others, including IDS, LSHTM etc.) was widely recognised, including by the then Chief Scientist, Mark Walport, and through the ESRC's selection of the International Impact Prize in 2016 (see 'Influencing responses to the Ebola crisis in West Africa' on Researchfish and the multimedia impact story 'The social life of infectious diseases' https://medium.com/steps-impact-stories/the-social-life-of-infectious-diseases-d694d99114d4). In the field of energy and climate change, STEPS researchers have worked over several years to develop ideas on how climate policy could support and foster innovation systems. David Ockwell and Rob Byrne developed a concrete policy proposal for how international climate policy could be revised to better underpin pro-poor, climate compatible transformations via a new approach to assisting the transfer and uptake of climate technologies in developing countries. The approach is known as CRIBs (Climate Relevant Innovation-system Builders). It is now being fed into training (see 'Training climate policy makers in Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and Ethiopia') and high-level advice (see 'Advising the Green Climate Fund on the funding of collaborative R&D for climate technology transfer under the Paris Agreement') which has been adopted in the Green Climate Fund's policy. Similarly, being able to respond to the policy moment and be present at the big debates, bringing solid evidence to bear on international policy debates is witness to the capacity and responsiveness of the Centre. Our ability to be present at the Rio plus 20 conference and in discussions around the SDGs is witness to this (Annex A, B2 of the Final Report - see also impact story: Reshaping development goals https://medium.com/steps-impact-stories/reshaping-development-goals-38398208d1fd), as has been our ability to contribute to a whole range of inquiries, consultations and informal policy discussions, including contributing in 2014 to the Chief Scientists' Report on the back of extended long-term work by STEPS on the risks and uncertainties around new technologies. During the first phase (2006-2010) we engaged in a range of policy advisory inputs, ranging from government committees to parliamentary inquiries. For example: • Invited STEPS evidence to House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Technology adopted as basis for key policy recommendation in Inquiry report. • STEPS report on Transformative Innovation: policy analysis framework cited as basis for chapter in 2010 DEFRA Evidence Investment Strategy. • UK Government NESTA report on Low Carbon Innovation in China cites STEPS '3Ds' approach • STEPS work on diversity in technological directions cited in Royal Society report 'The Scientific Century: securing our future prosperity' 2010. • UK Foresight Global Food and Farming Futures Project involves STEPS research in work on 'Governance' and 'Imagining the Difficult to Imagine Drivers of Change'. • Submission to 2006 Parliamentary Inquiry on Water. • OECD/UNESCO workshop, January 2009 'Innovation for Development: Converting Knowledge to Value' feeding into the 2010 OECD Innovation Strategy. • OECD Expert Committee on 'Innovating out of Poverty' (April 2009), feeding into Meeting of the OECD Council at the Ministerial Level. The New Manifesto project explored how citizens could be better involved in shaping science, technology and innovation for development. Inputs included research by STEPS members and partners, an international seminar series and 20 roundtables conducted throughout the world - involving hundreds of individuals from women's groups in rural Maharashtra to researchers in Venezuela to the Zimbabwean Minister of Science and Technology. It was launched at the Royal Society in London in 2010, and resonated widely, particularly as the international community reflected on the Millennium Development Goals and what might follow them after 2015. Outputs from the Manifesto project influenced (and were cited by) UK parliamentary committees on building scientific capacity for development and the post-2015 development goals. In a debate in the House of Commons in October 2012, Martin Horwood MP recommended the application of the Manifesto's '3D' agenda of direction, distribution and diversity. Internationally, STEPS researchers were invited to present the Manifesto at an IDRC-OECD event in Paris in 2009, to UNESCO, the World Social Forum and the World Innovation Forum. STEPS also organised an event at the ESRC Festival of Social Science in Brighton, 2010, aimed at the general public. And in October 2012, the New Manifesto project won the prestigious European Association for the Study of Science and Technology (EASST) Ziman award for "the most innovative cooperation in a venture to promote the public understanding of the social dimensions of science". (See the impact story 'Making futures' - https://medium.com/steps-impact-stories/making-futures-815fcab8fda6). A number of major communications related activities took place during Phase 2 (see Annex A, A9 of the STEPS Centre final report). These included: • Symposium on 'Credibility across Cultures' in 2013 at the University of Sussex • International symposium on Pathways to Sustainability at Jawaharlal Nehru University, 2014 • Resource Politics Conference, 2015 • Launch of the Politics of Green Transformations book in London • An international conference on Pathways to Sustainable Urbanisation in India, 2016 • Co-hosting the Contested Agronomy conference in Sussex in 2016 All of these gave a forum for academic researchers to share ideas with significant and influential actors from outside academia - from environmental activists and NGOs at the Resource Politics conference, to urban practitioners and healthcare professionals in India, to policy advisors at the 'Credibility across Cultures' symposium. This led to the development of longer-lasting networks - for example, the POLLEN (political ecology network) was launched at the Resource Politics conference. In the second phase of our work (2011-2016), we were able to raise complementary funds through a number of sources, and seek ways of linking our STEPS work with other affiliated Centres more strongly. STEPS was a core partner in the ESRC Nexus Network, and this allowed for further networking, largely in the UK, with non-academic audiences from business, government and civil society, and a £700,000 grants programme for transdisciplinary research partly shaped through the STEPS Centre and with strong methodological inputs. The STEPS Centre conducted research through 28 projects (of varying sizes) in 30 countries and involving 38 Centre members at Sussex, and many other collaborators throughout the world (see Annex A, A7 of the Final Report, as well as our project partners in Annex A sections D, E and F). We have had eight PhD students funded by ESRC and linked to the Centre and many other students at MA and PhD level engaged with the Centre, both at Sussex and more widely. Examples of specific impacts from our projects are grassroots innovation work being used in policy and practice by varied groups from OECD and UNDP to technology makers themselves (see 'Grassroots innovation - historical and comparative perspectives' on Researchfish); and national policy on waste management in Indian cities incorporating our insights (see 'Draft Solid Waste Management Rules' on Researchfish and Annex A, E9 of the final report). This period also saw the build up to Rio+20, and the subsequent launch of the SDGs in 2015. This provided a substantial policy opportunity to engage with the wider debate and present some cutting edge research and thinking (see 'Rio+20 and the Sustainable Development Goals'). We worked closely with our Swedish partner, the Stockholm Resilience Centre, including Johan Rockström, Per Olsson and others in preparing a series of papers on transformations that were widely publicised in advance of Rio. (For more detail, see the impact story: https://medium.com/steps-impact-stories/reshaping-development-goals-38398208d1fd) In this period too, the STEPS Centre was associated with two ESRC International Impact Awards: first in 2015 for Ian Scoones' work on agrarian change in southern Africa and second in 2016 for the work on Ebola that the STEPS Centre contributed to, building on the long-term work on health and disease, and particular epidemics, starting back in 2007 (see 'Influencing responses to the Ebola crisis in West Africa' and for more detail, the impact story: https://medium.com/steps-impact-stories/the-social-life-of-infectious-diseases-d694d99114d4). Our Summer School, an innovation in Phase 2, provides a focus for our capacity building work. The Summer School has been massively overs-subscribed each year since 2002, and has attracted PhD students and post-doctoral researchers from around 40 countries. With 300 odd alumni associated with the Centre we have a global network of enthusiastic, mostly young, researchers and practitioners engaged with sustainability issues, who we see as the sustainability professionals of the future, carrying ideas, concepts, methods and practical examples from the STEPS Centre's work to diverse settings and challenges (see 'STEPS Summer School - overview'). Since 2015-16, on the back of long term engagements with partners since 2006, we have established the STEPS Global Consortium, with partners in Argentina, China, Kenya, India, Mexico, Sweden and the US (see 'Pathways to Sustainability Global Consortium'). This Consortium provides an extraordinary platform for ongoing research and policy engagement around a number of themes, with each hub linking to STEPS at Sussex in different ways. Our vision for the Consortium is for a horizontal network that is more than the sum of its parts, and is able to co-construct research and influence policy in diverse settings in the Agenda 2030/Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) era. The Consortium is now working on a project under the ISSC Transformative Knowledge Network, involving all hubs, to explore how 'Transformation Labs' and social learning approaches can produce new responses to socio-ecological challenges in 6 sites around the world. This draws on the STEPS pathways approach, as well as insights from the other partners in the Consortium. The impacts from this are not yet determined, but the project aims to produce specific real-world 'social innovations' involving new civil society alliances. Compared to when the STEPS Centre was founded, our 'offer' is even more in demand. In an era when the politics of sustainability is in the news daily, when the world has signed up to the SDGs and the Paris Climate accord (or nearly so), and when the local and geopolitical dimensions of linking environment, society and development are so essential, the sort of groundwork that the Centre has done - in terms of research, but also crucially in terms of network and capacity building - has a vital role to play. This is perhaps especially relevant in the UK where the research community rallies around tackling problem-driven 'global challenges' with cross-disciplinary work under the Global Challenges Research Fund. |

Impact | STEPS Centre research contributed to the Ebola Response Anthropology Platform (ERAP) and the related Ebola: lessons for development initiatives, which won the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Outstanding International Impact Prize in 2016. The team comprised leading anthropologists from the Institute of Development Studies and its partners, led by IDS director and former STEPS director Melissa Leach. The initiative built on an extensive history of research, including contributions from ESRC-funded STEPS Centre work on how social and natural scientists could work together to prepare and respond to zoonoses and infectious diseases in developing countries. The Platform provided timely advice to high-level fora on case identification and diagnostics, funeral practices, home care, clinical trials, communications, community engagement and 'resistance'. This gave shape to UK and international strategy and on-the-ground action in West Africa. As a social science Sub Committee of SAGE, they advised the government Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientist. The Platform website became a focal point for live information and dialogue, accessed by over 16,000 users and energising global anthropological networks. They advised three UK parliamentary inquiries which reported in January 2016 that: 'The importance of sociological and anthropological support in the epidemic cannot be underestimated.' Cumulatively, the Ebola initiatives influenced and engaged high-level actors including UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response, Ministry of Defence and Department for International Development (DfID). Alongside this, media outlets from the BBC World Service's Science in Action to the Huffington Post's Healthy Living blog took note and either carried pieces by researchers or sought to interview them. |

Policy Influence Type | Citation in other policy documents |
Impact | This was a short document requested by DECC and DfID to summarise deliberations at the first LCEDN conference held at Loughborough University in April 2012. It sets out the research priorities that flowed from the discussions at the conference. The research establishes that there is a lack of solid evidence on the constraints and soltuions around increasing energy access for the poor in developing countries. It also suggests that the few analyses that consider 'barriers' and interventions in integrated ways show promise for making progress in energy access efforts. The review finds that there is a vast literature on energy access barriers and interventions to overcome them. However, the extent of the academic literature that could be considered 'high-quality' (in terms of the criteria of a systematic review) is quite limited. The literature concerned with sub-Saharan Africa is concentrated on just a few countries and mainly electrification. Furthermore, despite widespread reference to the importance of factors other than technical and economic, there is little analysis of barriers and interventions that are not either technical or economic. And, the analyses tend to focus on barriers individually rather than attempt any integrative approaches: that is, to analyse a set of barriers and interventions together, considering their interactions and complexities. Where such analyses do exist, they suggest that much better understanding of the factors hindering and facilitating energy access is possible. |

Impact | This is a systematic review of the literature on energy access barriers and interventions to overcome them. The review was commissioned by DfID and was focussed primarily on sub-Sahara African countries.

It also suggests that the few analyses that consider 'barriers' and interventions in integrated ways show promise for making progress in energy access efforts.

Organisation | African Centre for Technology Studies |

Sector | Charity/Non Profit |
PI Contribution | The STEPS Centre established the Consortium with its partners in 2015-2016, building on longer-term collaborations between STEPS and the institutions listed. We had successful launches of hubs in East Africa (Nairobi), South America (Buenos Aries), India (Delhi) and China (Beijing) during 2015-16. Our Consortium brochure (download via steps-centre.org/global) highlights the activities and partnerships. The STEPS Centre has provided funding to hubs for launches, capacity building, collaborative research projects, and visiting fellowships. |
Collaborator Contribution | The members of the consortium have together established a platform for collaborative work across 5 continents. The most striking evidence is a collective project funded by ISSC, the 'PATHWAYS Network', working across all hubs on experimental methods to confront socio-ecological challenges in 6 sites. Other partnerships are detailed in separate entries in Researchfish. One example is the training carried out with ACTS in Kenya and other East African countries on innovation systems for climate policy makers. All partners have provided intellectual input and practical suggestions into the running of the Consortium and its future. |
Impact | During this period the 'Pathways Network' Transformative Knowledge Network was funded by the International Social Science Council (ISSC) (steps-centre.org/project/pathways-network), and this has provided a firm foundation for developing linkages between hub partners around themes of energy (Kenya and China), water/urban change (India and Mexico/US), and food/agriculture (Argentina/UK), with input from partners in Sweden on methodologies. This work has become an important platform for exchange across hubs, but also as a focus for policy engagement on the ground around the practical challenges of implementing the SDGs. Wider methodological development around the idea of 'transformation labs' has been central to this work, as has reflection on linking research with activism and transformational change. To this end, we had some external funding to convene a process of reflection on scholar activism during the 2016 Summer School, resulting in a web based resource (learning.steps-centre.org/mod/book/view.php?id=45). ISSC and STEPS funding has supported a number of junior researchers from across all hubs to come to Summer School in the last few years. This is consolidating the linkages across the Consortium through different individuals, at different career stages, beyond those who initiated the hubs. |

We had successful launches of hubs in East Africa (Nairobi), South America (Buenos Aries), India (Delhi) and China (Beijing) during 2015-16. Our Consortium brochure (download via steps-centre.org/global) highlights the activities and partnerships. The STEPS Centre has provided funding to hubs for launches, capacity building, collaborative research projects, and visiting fellowships. |
Collaborator Contribution | The members of the consortium have together established a platform for collaborative work across 5 continents. The most striking evidence is a collective project funded by ISSC, the 'PATHWAYS Network', working across all hubs on experimental methods to confront socio-ecological challenges in 6 sites. Other partnerships are detailed in separate entries in Researchfish. One example is the training carried out with ACTS in Kenya and other East African countries on innovation systems for climate policy makers. All partners have provided intellectual input and practical suggestions into the running of the Consortium and its future. |
Impact | During this period the 'Pathways Network' Transformative Knowledge Network was funded by the International Social Science Council (ISSC) (steps-centre.org/project/pathways-network), and this has provided a firm foundation for developing linkages between hub partners around themes of energy (Kenya and China), water/urban change (India and Mexico/US), and food/agriculture (Argentina/UK), with input from partners in Sweden on methodologies. This work has become an important platform for exchange across hubs, but also as a focus for policy engagement on the ground around the practical challenges of implementing the SDGs. Wider methodological development around the idea of 'transformation labs' has been central to this work, as has reflection on linking research with activism and transformational change. To this end, we had some external funding to convene a process of reflection on scholar activism during the 2016 Summer School, resulting in a web based resource (learning.steps-centre.org/mod/book/view.php?id=45). ISSC and STEPS funding has supported a number of junior researchers from across all hubs to come to Summer School in the last few years. This is consolidating the linkages across the Consortium through different individuals, at different career stages, beyond those who initiated the hubs. |

Title | 'African Farmer' game |
Description | African Farmer is a free, open source game that simulates the complex decisions and uncertainties faced by small-scale farmers living in Sub-Saharan Africa. Your challenge is to manage a farming household in a small village. You need to make decisions on what crops to grow, when to plant them and respond to crop pests and changeable weather. You must manage labour and provide your family with a nutritious diet or they may become ill and be unable to work. The game is available in two versions: a single player game and a multiplayer game. Dr John Thompson (Future Agricultures/Institute of Development Studies) is the Project Co-ordinator. The multiplayer game was developed by a team from the University of Sussex and Future Agricultures. Ellie Martin and James Jackson developed the game at the School of Engineering and Informatics, University of Sussex, under the leadership of Dr Judith Good. The single player game is developed by James Jackson. The project is supported by DFID through a grant to the Future Agricultures Consortium, with additional support from the United Kingdom Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) through a grant to the STEPS Centre. African Farmer develops ideas from the educational board games Green Revolution, developed in the 1970s by Graham Chapman and Liz Dowler and Africulture, developed in the 1980s by Graham Chapman, Janice Jiggins and Henk de Zeeuw. |

Open Source License? | Yes |
Impact | The game has been part of the programme at the STEPS Summer School since 2014, as an optional activity. Players have consistently reported that it has helped them to think differently about agriculture in Africa from the perspective of a rural household. There are around 600 followers of the game on social media who are informed of updates. |

Title | Multicriteria Mapping (MCM) |
Description | Introduced for the first time as a web-based service in 2015, Multicriteria Mapping (MCM) is a globally-available, easily-accessible, multicriteria appraisal method for exploring contrasting perspectives on complex strategic and policy issues. The tool aims to help 'open up' technical assessment by systematically 'mapping' the practical implications of alternative options, knowledges, framings and values. |
Type Of Technology | Webtool/Application |
Year Produced | 2015 |
Impact | MCM uniquely bridges qualitative and quantitative approaches, and enables more participatory analysis. It allows great flexibility, offering an appraisal method that is strongly grounded in theory but highly unconstrained in practice. This versatility has been reflected in its use internationally to explore contentious decisions in the fields of energy strategy, food production, environmental policy, radioactive waste management and public health. Appraisal of policy options in these areas using MCM has influenced which policies have been adopted. Please see website for case studies. NB. The tool has been available in spreadsheet form since the late 1990s, but also available as a web-based app since 2015. |

Results and Impact | At the start of this project we stated one of our key objectives was to generate new cultures of communication across science, health and animal welfare, which would shape the future of animal research in the UK. This is a big promise, so it was not without trepidation that we gathered on the evening of the 26th June at the Wellcome Collection to mount our posters and finalise presentations for our opening stakeholder workshop. Yet at the same time the excitement in the air was palpable. This is, at the end of the day, what AnNex is all about, using the approaches and methods from the social sciences and humanities to create a safe space for conversations about animal research for all stakeholders, be they scientists, researchers, academics, funders, animal care staff, NGOs, charities or campaign groups. |

Results and Impact | Anthropologically, bats are anomalous and liminal animals. They are not easy to categorise: they look like mice but fly like birds; they are social but occupy the night. I had one of the best times in my anthropological career when I was invited to spend a night catching and tagging bats in Ghana. Working with an interdisciplinary team, I came to learn much more of the many diseases harboured by bats (perhaps I will never again have the opportunity to go bat catching and to handle bats with the same naked enthusiasm). In the social science research on bats and zoonotic diseases (as I did actually have to do some anthropology and wasn't able to convert to a full-time bat catcher), we focused on bat-human interactions and the policy implications thereof. |

Results and Impact | If the market for a resource declines significantly, the impact is felt not only by shareholders, but also potentially by others affected by the systemic financial risks of a so-called 'carbon bubble'. This would include the taxpayers that often help subsidise the upfront cost of export infrastructure, such as rail and ports. In the face of such potential risks, it's worth at least considering this under-reported publication, a joint effort from Carbon Tracker and the Climate Institute. |

Results and Impact | Blog post by Chris Buescher about his field research which revealed a move from privatisation to public ownership and back again in Mozambique. This partly responded to a Transnational Institute (TNI) report on 'remunicipalisation', and provoked a contact from TNI staff wanting to know more about the research. The story was also covered in Zitamar, a newsletter run by journalists in Mozambique and London, who are investigating the role of private companies in the country's water sector. This output was partly supported by the project 'Governing the Land-Water-Environment Nexus in Southern Africa' but, as a STEPS-affiliated project, benefited from publicity via the STEPS website, social media and email lists. |

Description | Can Understanding Pastoral Systems Help Us Respond to Global Uncertainties? |
Form Of Engagement Activity | A talk or presentation |
Part Of Official Scheme? | No |
Geographic Reach | International |
Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
Results and Impact | Uncertainties are everywhere: climate change, financial crises, migration flows, infrastructure development, disease outbreaks and more. Yet contemporary institutions and policy processes are poor at responding to and embracing uncertainties, where we don't know about either the likely outcomes or their probabilities. Too often political, procedural and professional pressures force us to ignore uncertainties, constructing problems and solutions in terms of manageable risk. In this presentation, I will argue that this is highly problematic, and that we can learn much from those who live daily with uncertainty and make use of it as a productive resource. Pastoralists - people living largely from livestock in dryland, montane and Mediterranean regions - have long experience of responding to intersecting uncertainties. Perceptions, cultures and practices; markets and economic relations; and institutional arrangements and governance systems have co-evolved with environmental, economic and political uncertainties. Can we learn from these experiences for other contexts, such as financial systems, disease outbreak response, migration policy and critical infrastructure management, where the challenges of responding to uncertainty are real, and growing? Without arguing that lessons are directly transferrable, the presentation will ask what core principles might be relevant for refashioning policies, practices and institutions in order to confront heightened uncertainties in today's world? The presentation relates to a new European Research Council Advanced Grant, involving research on pastoral systems in Chinese Tibet, East Africa and Sardinia, encouraging a conversation with those in other fields grappling with uncertainties. The ERC grant is led by the STEPS Centre at Sussex and involves collaboration with the Global Governance Programme at EUI, Florence, amongst others. (speaker's abstract) |

Results and Impact | The coastal mega-city of Mumbai is a vibrant bustling hub, home to some 20 million people and a magnet for migrants who flock to the city seeking new opportunities and a better life. The city is a complex conglomerate of contrasts; with modern high-rises and shopping malls jostling for space with slums, wealth and glamour exist cheek by jowl with poverty and deprivation. The city also has a unique ecological identity, encompassing extensive areas of mangroves, wetlands, and salt pans that function as green lungs and buffers against floods, to which this low-lying coastal city increasingly is prone.

Results and Impact | The hosting of this offical side event at COP 21 in Paris, enabled the Africa Sustainability Hub and some of its key researchers to introduce the Hub to a new audience and the CRIBs research theme, which will be further explored in an event in March 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya. The side event helped to introduce a new and borader audience to the Africa Sustainability Hub. We saw an increased level of interest in the work of the Hub and requests for more information regarding the work of the Hub. It was also an opportunity to introduce the idea and stream of research around CRIBs and gain feedback. The idea of CRIBs will be used at a training for African Climate Change Negotiators in Nairobi in March 2016. |

They explored why technology and the kinds of digital futures explored at Fusebox and elsewhere, are deeply social matters, and how the politics of such innovation demands democratic approaches in technology. Andy and Adrian drew on their ESRC social science research and particularly the work done in the STEPS Centre. |

From purity codes, caste, class and gender boundaries, to disagreements about access to water, boundaries shape people's lives, but they're also strangely elusive things. |

It was mainly carried out under the ESPA-funded Dynamic Drivers of Disease in Africa Consortium but STEPS, as one of the partners in the consortium, had significant input into framing, participating and publicising the event. Co-organised by the Dynamic Drivers of Disease in Africa Consortium and the Zoological Society of London with support from the Royal Society, this event brought together leading experts from different fields to discuss 'healthy ecosystems, healthy people'. New interdisciplinary frameworks for a real-world One Health approach were presented, evidence from field-based settings in Africa and beyond were highlighted and the implications of a One Health approach for policy and practice was debated. Keynote speakers included Jeremy Farrar (Director of Wellcome Trust) and Melissa Leach (Director, Institute of Development Studies). The event garnered media coverage in Research Fortnight, SciDev.Net and Veterinary Record. |

It is expected that the networking at the event will lead to new collaborations, though this has yet to be evidenced. |

Results and Impact | Why is uncertainty so important to politics today? From finance and technology to climate change, pandemics, migration and security, what the future holds feels increasingly uncertain and demands alternative approaches. If hopes of much-needed progressive transformations are to be realised, then current blinkered understandings of uncertainty need to be met with renewed democratic struggle. Exploring how uncertainties are experienced in the context of marginalisation and precarity, Andy Stirling in conversation with Sobia Ahmad Kaker, will look at how we can advance a more collective politics of responsibility and care. |

Results and Impact | Ecological Civilization and the Governance of China's Green Transformation Meeting of the China Sustainability Hub, 18-19 October 2016 Second Floor, Yingdong Building (????????) (west of Jingshi Square), Beijing Normal University, 19 Xinjiekou Outer Street Beijing 100875 China's green transformations - in particular the ambitious plans to decarbonise its economy -necessitate significant and disruptive technological and social change, and require sophisticated approaches to governance in order for socio-economic and environmental goals to be met. Implementation of the country's recently reiterated commitments under the Paris Accord will deliver not only carbon savings but also co-benefits such as reductions in urban air pollution. At the same time, millions of Chinese workers in the coal sector and other polluting industries will lose their livelihoods. Through its approaches to fostering 'ecological civilisation' (Geall and Ely 2015), the government of China is attempting to reconcile these multiple challenges, whilst also rebalancing the country's geographic and societal inequalities and building an innovation-based economy. |

Results and Impact | There is a forest beneath the waves off the western coast of South Africa that is as biologically rich as a tropical rainforest. Few people have experienced the Great African Kelp Forest like the members of the Sea Change Project, a small group of journalists, scientists, photographers and filmmakers who have developed a unique methodology for exploring and learning about, from and with nature called 'underwater tracking'. The Sea Change Project has spent thousands of hours exploring these wild 'algal gardens' and the creatures that live in them, skin- and breath-hold diving in the frigid waters of South Africa's Cape Peninsula. The group has identified new species and learned to read subtle signs and that give insight into lives, deaths and relationships of the kelp forest's creatures, a process one member describes as delving deep into 'the biological mind of the forest'. The acclaimed Netflix documentary My Octopus Teacher is one example of the project's approach to 'multispecies storytelling' (Haraway, 2016). This is an affective, aesthetic and sensorial approach that focuses on connections, embodied experience and interspecies learning to help people see, experience and value the Great African Kelp Forest in new ways. In this Q&A Roundtable with the film's director, Pippa Ehrlich, and Sea Change project members Swati Foster, Carina Frankal and Faine Loubser, we explored questions about Sea Change's approach to exploring, researching and communicating about the 'forest beneath the waves'. The conversation was moderated by Amber Huff (STEPS Centre) and Adrian Nel (University of KwaZulu-Natal). How does the project's approach diverge from dominant approaches in ecology and marine conservation in terms of underlying assumptions, practices, values and objectives? Can embracing ecological alterity and developing meaningful intimacies with the hidden, 'alien' and 'weird' aspects of nature nourish new 'kinships' and new ways of 'commoning' of our relations with others? What are the impacts of such an approach on public awareness and attitudes towards this marine ecology on one level, and on discourses and practice of conservation? Can learning from these approaches help to inform and transform conservation more broadly? |

The one-day event in London, 'Reimagining Development in LDCs: what role for the SDGs?' included sessions on inclusive urbanisation and sustainable energy transitions for low carbon futures, as well as a round table debate on the politics of the transformations at the heart of the SDG agenda. It brought together people from LDCs as well as a range of third sector organisations and researchers. The event was accompanied by a large number of resources, including blogs from participants, video interviews with people in LDCs, written Q&As with leading researchers and activists, and a pro-active campaign on Twitter around the event. An 'agenda for action', entitled 'Making the SDGs a reality in LDCs: action for transformation' was produced following the event, building on the discussion and providing a reference point for LDC Experts to work together for change at national and international level around the Sustainable Development Goals. The event also received media coverage on the Thomson Reuters site. |

Results and Impact | "About Professor Chris Freeman Prof. Christopher Freeman (1921-2010), who died on August 16th aged 88, was a pioneer of the research field known as ""innovation studies"". He was passionate in his belief that technology and innovation could make the world a better place, and that the ""dismal science"" of economics could be transformed into ""the economics of hope"". In 1966 Freeman was invited to set up a Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU) at Sussex University, where, working with Geoffrey Oldham, he quickly built up an impressive array of talented researchers. In 1974 Freeman published The Economics of Industrial Innovation, which was to be the definitive textbook on the subject for the next 30 years. Along with colleagues in SPRU and Germany, Freeman founded the journal Research Policy, editing it for the next 30 years and establishing it as the pre-eminent journal in the field. In 1992 he published The Economics of Hope, and in 2001 he and Francisco Louça brought out As Time Goes By, revisiting and revising his ideas on long-term economic change. In 2003, SPRU moved into a new building, which was named the Freeman Centre in his honour. Freeman was awarded the Bernal Prize and the Schumpeter Prize. (The Telegraph, 7th September 2010). About the Speaker: Prof. Mammo Muchie is a DST/NRF Research Professor of Innovation Studies at the Institute for Economic Research on Innovation, Tshwane University of Technology, South Africa; and Senior Research Associate at the TMCD Centre, University of Oxford, UK. He completed his doctoral study under the supervision of Prof. Chris Freeman." |

Results and Impact | It's often said that knowledge to tackle big problems in the world - food, water, climate, energy, biodiversity, disease and war - has to be 'co-produced'. Tackling these problems is not just about solving 'grand challenges' with big solutions, it's also about grappling with the underlying causal social and political drivers. But what does co-production actually mean, and how can it help to create knowledge that leads to real transformation? |

Geographic Reach | Local |
Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
Results and Impact | Uncertainties are everywhere: climate change, financial crises, migration flows, infrastructure development, disease outbreaks and more. Yet contemporary institutions and policy processes are poor at responding to and embracing uncertainties, where we don't know about either the likely outcomes or their probabilities. Too often political, procedural and professional pressures force us to ignore uncertainties, constructing problems and solutions in terms of manageable risk. In this presentation, I will argue that this is highly problematic, and that we can learn much from those who live daily with uncertainty and make use of it as a productive resource. Pastoralists - people living largely from livestock in dryland, montane and Mediterranean regions - have long experience of responding to intersecting uncertainties. Perceptions, cultures and practices; markets and economic relations; and institutional arrangements and governance systems have co-evolved with environmental, economic and political uncertainties. Can we learn from these experiences for other contexts, such as financial systems, disease outbreak response, migration policy and critical infrastructure management, where the challenges of responding to uncertainty are real, and growing? Without arguing that lessons are directly transferrable, the presentation will ask what core principles might be relevant for refashioning policies, practices and institutions in order to confront heightened uncertainties in today's world? The presentation launches a new European Research Council Advanced Grant, involving research on pastoral systems in Chinese Tibet, East Africa and Sardinia, encouraging a conversation with those in other fields grappling with uncertainties. The ERC grant is led by the STEPS Centre at Sussex and involves collaboration with the Global Governance Programme at EUI, Florence, amongst others. |

Results and Impact | This panel will examine the politics of sustainability transformations through different cases, drawing on the work of the STEPS Centre and the emerging STEPS Global Pathways to Sustainability Consortium. It will open with an overview presentation exploring the different ways 'transformations' are understood, and how sustainability transformations require a focus on coalition building across diverse actors. This will be followed by three case study presentations from three different regional settings and on three different sustainability challenges (waste and water, low-carbon energy, and agri-food) examining how, over time, state, market and society have interacted in the construction of pathways - promoting some and sidelining others - and how a wider political economy analysis has helped to illuminate which combination of factors are important in facilitating transformations to sustainability. |

Results and Impact | This conference brought social scientists together with agronomists to debate the battlefields in current agronomic research, particularly related to developing countries. Case studies of historical or present day significance to the developing world were invited. These cases included the history or nature of contestation; actors and coalitions; political and institutional drivers and dynamics; and the implications of contestation (e.g. for the field of agronomy, for researchers and research institutions, for journals, for policy or for farmers). The conference created a unique forum for dialogue between practitioners of agronomy, and those studying the social and political context in which agricultural research operates - including development economists, political economists and rural sociology researchers. Feedback at the event was overwhelmingly positive, with participants reporting that the event helped them to change their thinking around key issues, and the conference was also publicised via the Internet, with a dedicated website, blog series, video series and social media campaign. The longer term impacts are yet to be established as the event took place in February 2016 - a week before the time of posting this entry. A special issue has been proposed. |

Results and Impact | Theorizing about climate uncertainty from 'above' by experts may have little to do with how many people live with, understand and cope with uncertainty in everyday settings from 'below'. This workshop aimed to explore this problem from an interdisciplinary perspective, based on short commentaries and submissions from leading thinkers. It built on the recently concluded STEPS Uncertainty From Below project and the ongoing Norwegian Research Council project on Uncertainty, Climate Change and Transformation. The workshop raised awareness of these projects and elicited useful comment and insights from a research community from around the world involved in studying uncertainty and climate change. As such it built and reinforced connections between researchers and may lead to future collaborations between them to address new and emerging questions with relevance to the lives and wellbeing of vulnerable people in climate-affected settings. |

Results and Impact | STEPS Co-Director Andy Stirling will deliver the Keynote address on the final day of The 2018 Melbourne School of Government's conference, talking about expertise and democracy: from adversarial crisis to mutualistic renewal. ABOUT THE EVENT: The economic, social and environmental governance challenges facing contemporary societies are growing in severity, scope and complexity; yet trust in experts and established institutions is in decline. The role and legitimacy of expertise in policymaking is increasingly being called into question. Recently, populist and anti-globalisation movements in a number of countries, and on both 'right' and 'left', have achieved electoral success, in part by playing on these doubts and by rejecting the claims of experts to specialised knowledge and authority. These sentiments are even evident among many mainstream politicians. 'People in this country have had enough of experts' was the view of leading UK politician Michael Gove in 2016. US President Donald Trump has called global warming 'bullshit' and a 'Chinese hoax'. In Australia we have seen some parliamentarians assert that vaccination causes autism, or that climate change is a fabrication, despite strong evidence to the contrary. We have seen a special commissioner appointed to investigate 'Wind Turbine Syndrome' despite no expert believing such a syndrome exists. It is time to think anew, and self-critically, about our assumptions regarding experts and expertise. In this two-day conference our focus is on policymaking which is controversial, contested and complex; which is sociotechnical and not simply technical or purely scientific. In particular, we will explore three themes and how they manifest in practical policymaking. |

Results and Impact | This webinar will present a forthcoming paper from our collaborative project on Rupture. Christian Lund (2016) used the concept of rupture to describe moments of sudden institutional change, such as conflict and colonisation, which he suggested were fertile spaces to observe processes of state making, new material and political claims, social actions and resistance. We took this analytical lens to the Mekong region, where mega infrastructure projects such as hydro-electric dams are dramatically transforming nature and society. The framing of rupture allows us to unravel certain complexities around these developments. Here, rupture does not represent a discrete "moment," as Lund described, but rather a process that unfolds over time. The social and material transformations associated with these dams interact with historical and ongoing changes. They have cascading and generative effects that connect across scales. In bringing the rupture lens to these cases, we develop and integrate four analytical themes that have broader relevance in understanding nature-society transformation: interactivity between transformative processes; cross-scale interactions; temporality, and agency. The talk will elaborate on these themes with reference to our empirical research, and discuss how they build upon existing perspectives on nature-society transformation. |

Results and Impact | "This conference was aimed at identifying windows of opportunity for urban regeneration and renewal being opened up through growing concerns about various aspects of urban decay. Exploring the possibilities for building upon alternative practices and creating new alliances as an integral part of transformative change for city region planning was the main agenda of the conference. Ultimately, it was aimed at devising the ways of supporting the strategies that governments and social movements can pursue to work toward regimes of urbanization that support sustainability. Through a combination of plenary presentations, case studies and working group discussions, it was aimed at developing new (critical policy engaged) research and engagement agendas that will consider how transformations to sustainable urbanization will happen and through what mechanisms.

Currently we are caught between technical utopias and what's happening now. Although there is talk of delinking, this is code for tweaking the current economic model, but a paper in the Proc Ac. Science suggests that a lot of talk on dematerialisation has been either greatly exaggerated or non existent. |

Geographic Reach | Local |
Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
Results and Impact | An energy revolution is underway. Driven by an enormous and unexpected downward shift in the full cost of renewable generation technologies, global investment in renewable electricity generation has exceeded investment in conventional technologies by a factor of two for the past two years. The large majority of new installed generation capacity is renewable, notably solar and wind. This ongoing energy revolution has potentially profound implications. An incomplete list includes rural electrification, solar pumping, stranded fossil fuel assets, the future of biofuels, the composition of electricity build plans, the value of regional power pools, and the pace and magnitude of global temperature rise. This talk will review salient features of the energy revolution, consider some broad implications for developing countries, and present preliminary modeling results for energy use and electricity generation build plans for South Africa. Channing Arndt has more than 25 years of experience in development economics with seven years combined resident experience in Morocco and Mozambique. He has published more than 70 articles in leading academic journals. His recent books include Growth and Poverty in sub-Saharan Africa; Measuring Poverty and Wellbeing in Developing Countries; and The Political Economy of Clean Energy Transitions. He has taken leadership roles in major policy documents such as the design of a carbon tax for the National Treasury of South Africa, the Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change for the World Bank, and the Second, Third and Fourth National Poverty Assessments for the Government of Mozambique. |

Results and Impact | With growing interest in the STEPS Centre, and the challenges of hosting MA courses and PhDs at Sussex (Phase 2 had very limited support for linked studentships, and on-going challenges of recruitment meant that the MA in Science, Sustainability and Development at IDS closed, pending a wider review of sustainability teaching at Master's level at Sussex, which has not yet concluded), we decided to launch a two-week Summer School in 2012 (see steps-centre.org/summer-school) Since then we have run 6 Summer Schools, involving 252 students from 41 countries. All participants are currently undertaking doctoral studies or have recently finished. We have targeted this group, following wider assessments that this transition from study to professional careers is crucial, and where some of the major challenges - conceptual, methodological, practical - lie. MA post grad and other courses and more conventional professional training covers other needs, but this we identified as a gap. With huge demand for places ever since, this analysis proved accurate. Since the beginning we have had high demand for around 40 places. Around 250 people apply each year, from every part of the world. We have been lucky to have had funding for bursaries for African participants from IDRC, from UKIERI for Indian participants, and from Sussex for Chinese participants (although these funds have now all ceased). Supplementary bursaries are supplied by STEPS core funds, although we do charge a fee of £700 which covers direct costs. Given the high demand for Summer School training, we have also created an e-learning resource. This has been launched in June 2017. In terms of the capacity building objectives of the Centre, the Summer School has become our core contribution. The feedback from participants each year has been overwhelmingly positive. The Summer School has built a really important network of committed researchers, many of whom keep in touch with each other and the Centre. The Alumni group was established to facilitate this, with Facebook and LinkedIn groups, and involves all past Summer School students, as well as others (such as Visiting Fellows, students, past staff) who have engaged with the Centre. This numbers over 300 today, and is a very active group, which we keep in regular touch with through posting material, encouraging blogs and an annual newsletter. |

Results and Impact | The STEPS Centre's annual summer school on Pathways to Sustainability in May 2015. The two week event brings together early career researchers from diverse disciplines and many countries to learn about the STEPS approach and relate it to their own work. Participant feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many participants saying that they had understood their work differently in the light of the course, and had made new, valuable and potentially lasting connections with other researchers in diverse disciplines and settings. The Summer School participants join a growing network of STEPS alumni around the world who regularly encounter each other at meetings and share information via a newsletter and on social media. |

Results and Impact | In May 2017 we welcomed 45 students from 23 countries to the STEPS Summer School at the Institute of Development Studies. This annual event combines lectures, workshops, walking discussions, social activities and a participant-led 'conference'. Feedback was good, with scores of 4/5 or higher on all questions about the usefulness of activities. 39 respondents said they would go on to use the pathways approach in their own work, with some reporting that it had radically changed the way they see their own work. Participants went on to join the alumni network, and continued to share information with each other via a dedicated Facebook page (still active at the time of writing, 28 September 2017). The Summer School also contributed to the building of capacity within the STEPS-led ISSC PATHWAYS Network and the Pathways to Sustainability Global Consortium, through the involvement of participants from the Consortium's hubs. An annual lecture with Achim Steiner, connected to the Summer School, drew a wide audience from the local area and online (see separate entry: STEPS Annual Lecture: Achim Steiner) |

The rhetoric - that the government's response was always 'led by the science' - was reinforced. Blog post written by Ian Scoones |

Results and Impact | The presentation reviews studies on the public health impacts of surface coal mining. Particular attention is paid to evidence for a form of surface mining called mountaintop removal that is practice in the United States. Studies from other parts of the world are also briefly described. Evidence is presented that documents epidemiological disease patterns for populations living in proximity to surface coal mining. Environmental evidence is also summarizing showing water and air pollution in residential areas close to mining. Studies that are able to directly link environmental exposure, dose, and biological impact are urgently needed. The weight of the evidence compels action, including the discontinuance of mountaintop removal mining due to its environmental and public health harm. Implications for surface mining in China are discussed. |

The Architecture and Society Series is a monthly series of talks with architects & allied practitioners highlighting the relevance of architecture in terms of current social and professional concerns. This talk by Dr.Ritu Priya (Professor, Centre of Social Medicine and Community Health, JNU) reconstructs the history of Delhi's planned development and draws some lessons using the lens of the three pillars of sustainability-social justice, economic viability and environmental health. While explicating positive and negative lessons it examined ideas of a citizen's city and of an ecologically smart city based on research and engagement with the urban poor and public health over three decades (including this current RRUF project). Ritu, proposed a re-imagination of the urban space and its planning for the South Asian context. In collaboration with Greha (http://www.greha.org/). |

Geographic Reach | National |
Primary Audience | Postgraduate students |
Results and Impact | Worldwide policy debates over governance of technology are pervaded by apparent tensions. One of the most intense and protracted sites for controversy surrounds the role of 'the precautionary principle' in research, regulation and international standard setting. A common - often loudly propounded - position in influential quarters of business, government and academia, is that precaution is somehow 'unscientific' or even 'anti-technology' in its implications. Such interests strongly assert the sufficiency of 'risk-based' decision making, treating choices among alternative directions for innovation in particular fields as if they were effectively purely technical - independent of political values, economic interests or democratic process. It is clear that (as in any politically-salient field of scholarship or law), there exist many expedient misrepresentations or misapplications of precaution. In particular, precaution is best understood not as a notionally-definitive decision rule, but as a principle that points towards specific qualities of process. In making this case, this talk will argue that the above kinds of high-profile rhetoric around precaution are not only mistaken, but undermining both of science and democracy in governance of science and technology. Crucial to understanding why this is so, is to appreciate that the full breadth and depths of incertitude in this field are far more profound and intractable than are routinely acknowledged in established forms of risk assessment. It is not necessarily 'critical' - but simply a matter of realism and rigour - to recognise that there exist many institutional pressures to suppress the typical scope and gravity of incertitude and treat it as a reduced notion of risk. The cumulative effect of this is to generate a kind of 'organised irresponsibility', under which consequences of neglected aspects of 'uncertainty', 'ambiguity' and 'ignorance' are effectively externalised onto the least privileged (often most vulnerable) social groups and their environments. Seen in this light, the diverse implications of precaution are not simply about being more rigorous about different aspects of uncertainty. They are also about being more open in seeking to balance the routine effects of powerful interests within processes of technology governance. Precaution also entails a more realistic understanding of innovation as a branching evolutionary process. Here, discouragement of one particular powerfully-backed trajectory in any given can be recognised not to be inherently 'anti-technology', but typically to have the effect of encouraging alternative preferable innovation pathways. It is on these grounds that carefully deliberate application of precaution in some of its many variant forms, can help enable technology governance at the same time not only to be more rigorous about the realities of uncertainty and innovation, but also more respectful of the imperatives of social justice and democracy. |

Results and Impact | According to Geall, who is also a research fellow at the Science Policy Research Unit at the University of Sussex, China is hoping to become the leading global exporter of clean energy technologies. "They also see that as part of their energy security strategy," Geall says. "I think that they're realizing that, rather than being exposed to volatile prices for traditional forms of energy supply, they can actually manufacture energy security by investing in renewables, particularly in solar. We've seen huge deflation in the cost of solar in recent years, largely because of the scale of manufacturing in China." |

Results and Impact | Event at Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford. Creeping climatic upheaval and corrosive global inequality are like two threads pulling apart civilisation's fabric. Internationally coordinated action is further threatened by doubts over Europe's future due to the referendum on UK membership. To survive and thrive we face an unprecedented challenge of rapid transition. But the way we live is locked-in by multiple factors including an economic system, dominated by finance that fails the poorest, is obsessed with environmentally destructive growth and resists change however broken. This seminar, part of a series organised by the New Weather Institute with the University of Sussex and the STEPS Centre explores the circumstances in which rapid, progressive economic change might happen. Speakers: Alan Rusbridger, Principal of Lady Margaret Hall Prof Danny Dorling, University of Oxford Prof Mary Mellor, Northumbria University Prof Peter Newell, University of Sussex Lindsay Mackie, New Weather Institute Prof Victoria Chick, University College London Dr Geoff Tily, Senior Economist, TUC Maurice Glasman, London Metropolitan University (Oxford University & Queen Mary's College London, Visiting Lecturer) Andrew Simms, New Weather Institute |

Results and Impact | The Transformations event series was an activity carried out over the 2016-2017 'bridging' year. The STEPS Centre had published the Politics of Green Transformations book in 2015, and continued the theme with discussions, reading and seminars related to field work during the bridging year. To complement and further inspire this, the Transformations event series aimed to engage a wider public audience in encounters between our own work and other parallel research centres and fields, where ideas of transformation are central. Instead of a larger annual conference, this would consist of a series of smaller-scale events throughout the year, in different parts of the UK, with a different thematic focus each time - learning from different kinds of transformations from diverse times and places with diverse causes and outcomes. We hoped that new alliances, ideas and debates could be opened up by engaging with activists, practitioners, academics and interested citizens in this way. We aimed to document the events as a series, and pull together multimedia resources from it, as well as present some common threads, themes and insights synthetically towards the end of the year. By fortune, the planning of our events coincided with a series on 'Rapid Transitions' conceived by the New Weather Institute with the involvement of Peter Newell (a STEPS member) through the Centre for Global Political Economy. The New Weather Institute aimed to learn from historical and current examples of rapid transition in areas such as culture, finance, design, energy, though focused on the implications for achieving radical responses to climate change. STEPS and the New Weather Institute decided to join together in promoting the series and sharing resources and insights. The STEPS-led events explored transformations in Kurdish democratic confederalism, the digital revolution and the water-energy-food 'Nexus'. STEPS hosted materials from all the events on our website, presented as a series (steps-centre.org/transformations-events), including video, a collection of 8 blogposts/opinion pieces by participants and organisers, a dedicated mailing list, and newsletter updates with a 'Transformations' sub-brand and leaflet to tie the series together. At the end of the series, a jointly-authored booklet (also available open access) aimed at a popular audience, How did we do that? The Possibility of Rapid Transition, was produced, using examples revealed by the events series and incorporating ideas from both STEPS and the New Weather Institute. The booklet was launched at a public event at the Friends Meeting House in Brighton which included speakers who are strongly engaged in environmental movements and academia in the UK, which brought together those involved in the series and a wider network to inspire each other, and discuss practical ways forward in campaigning and networking for change. The event generated a very lively discussion both in the venue and on social media, with multiple ideas for follow up activities, including a proposal for an online platform bringing together examples and ideas from transitions and transformations around the world. A proposal to the KR foundation, to be submitted in October 2017, will (if funded) take the project forward with more events in the UK and in 3 hubs in the STEPS Global Consortium, along with reports, briefings and engagement targeted at policy makers and influencers at national and international levels. |

As well as academics associated with the STEPS Centre, the STEPS global consortium and other groups, the workshop included representatives of local firms, growers (both independent and from community groups) and civil society organisations. It fed into a proposal to the ISSC's 'Transformations to Sustainability' programme, which was subsequently funded. Future research will pick up the themes and continue to work with the groups engaged at the workshop. |

Results and Impact | Here's an example of how it can affect someone's life. Kofi, a strong man, living and working in Obom is in the prime of his life and hopes to have many more children with his young wife. As a child, Kofi was bitten by mosquitoes carrying the parasite. The worms made their way to Kofi's lymphatic system where they grew to adulthood and survived - undetected - for about eight years. During this time, they released larvae that began to circulate in Kofi's blood, and eventually disrupted his immune system. All evidence of this damage to his lymphatic system remained hidden for many years. |

Results and Impact | The term Neglected Tropical Diseases, or NTDs, refers to a diverse collection of tropical infections that primarily affect people living in poverty, sometimes in high-income countries, but more frequently in low- and middle-income countries. They are caused by a variety of pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, protozoa and helminths (or worms). Not many neglected tropical diseases (NTD) can be successfully eliminated. Strategies to tackle these diseases include, in addition to elimination, seeking to control NTDs. Control does not eradicate the disease, but it does ensure that it no longer constitutes a major public health burden. |

Results and Impact | For better or worse, science and technology are both deeply entangled in "social progress". This is the case equally in discourse and practise around the world. In areas such as health, wealth, energy, mobility, and communications, it is widely recognized that remarkable historical improvements- at least for some- all owe much to science and technology. However, it is equally important to acknowledge that not all consequences of research and innovation are positive. Nor do any benefits unfold automatically - especially if they are to be fairly distributed. |

The Feinstein International Center has been studying these issues for more than 20 years and has documented changes over time in this report. Join researchers from Feinstein, Emory University, and the Institute for Development Studies for a webinar presentation on Wednesday, January 10, 2018 at 9am (EST). The panelists will offer preview of this report and a conversation about what makes pastoralists resilient in Eastern Africa. The panelists will discuss: How commercialization has driven a gradual redistribution of livestock from poorer to wealthier households How access to markets and productive rangeland determine different pathways to resilience How population and urban growth affect pastoralist livelihoods Challenges to supporting diversified and alternative livelihoods for increasing numbers of people within and outside of pastoralist areas Panelists: Andy Catley, Research Director at the Feinstein International Center, Tufts University Peter Little, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor and Director of the Program in Development Studies at Emory University Ian Scoones, Professorial Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies Greg Gottlieb (Chair), Director of the Feinstein International Center, Tufts University |

Results and Impact | The coronavirus outbreak has disrupted almost all aspects of life in India and Bangladesh. Apart from the immediate impacts on victims of the virus, the lockdowns imposed by governments have affected the mobility, income, food security, and livelihoods of millions. For people in so-called 'marginal' environments, in coastal and dryland areas, Covid-19 adds to a set of existing uncertainties and challenges. Recent weather events such as Cyclone Amphan have compounded the problems faced in some regions. But people in these areas are not passive recipients of unpredictable change. They are responding through alliances, often driven from the grassroots but sometimes in collaboration with other people and agencies. This webinar explores the implications of the Covid-19 pandemic for bottom-up transformations to sustainability. |

Results and Impact | Against a worldwide background of declining fortunes for nuclear power, UK policy enthusiasm continues to intensify. Already pursuing one of the most ambitious nuclear new-build agendas in the world, Britain is seeking to buck 50 years of experience to develop an entirely new and untested design of small modular reactors (SMRs). In 2016, then energy and climate secretary, Amber Rudd, summed up the government's position: "Investing in nuclear is what this government is all about for the next 20 years." |
