STEPS (Social, Technological and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability) Centre
Lead Research Organisation:
Institute of Development Studies
Department Name: Grants Administration Office
Abstract
The ESRC STEPS Centre will link research with action in the exploration of transformative pathways to sustainability. The Centre is part of an emerging STEPS Global Consortium with six hubs across five continents. Work on energy/climate, food/agriculture, health/disease, water/sanitation and urban development will continue through affiliated projects. The STEPS Centre's conceptual and methodological perspective - the 'pathways approach' will continue to be extended, and will provide a focus for debate about what works for sustainability transformations across domains.
The transition funding for the Centre will focus on a series of core platform functions, including convening/debating (through an annual event series on global sustainability challenges, including conceptual, methodological and practical policy questions), networking/partnerships (through the continued development of the Global Consortium), influencing/engaging (through linking research and events to policy and action, especially through building links between researchers and social movements/activists working on sustainability transformations across the world), and capacity building (through the training of early career sustainability professionals at the annual Summer School, as well as mentoring and support across the Global Consortium in a range of research, communications, impact and engagement functions).
The communications capacity of the Centre will continue to be enhanced through web based and social media capacities, as well as new links to arts and design. Over four years, the global standing of the Centre as a hub for knowledge exchange and policy influencing, particularly around the SDGs, will grow, along with its long-term institutional and financial sustainability.

Planned Impact
During the transition phase (2018-21), the STEPS Centre will continue to provide rigorous research evidence to inform policy and practice in responding to global sustainability challenges, notably around the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals. Central to this is the recognition of the normative, political dimensions of sustainability. Building linkages between research and action requires network building among researchers, social movements and activists working on sustainability issues across the world.
This includes creating new fora for knowledge exchange between activists, scholar-activists and researchers (for example, through the ERPI conference on rural politics, and the POLLEN Network), sharing methods which reveal solutions to environmental problems (through the PATHWAYS Transformative Knowledge Network, our methods platform and e-learning site), bringing artists together to create accessible, striking resources that will encourage public debate (through our partnership with Brighton University and Swarm Dynamics, an arts activist group), mobilising active networks working on practical transitions worldwide (proposed Rapid Transition Alliance) and encouraging reflection between scientists, engineers, planners and those who act as brokers between scientific knowledge and grassroots views on transformative environmental change.
In this transition phase we will do this by linking affiliated projects and our wider network through a series of events focused on major sustainability themes, including transformations, uncertainties, natures and methods. These will be a focus for debate between researchers, social movements, activists, practitioners and policymakers, aiming to define new directions and solutions to complex conceptual, methodological and practical sustainability challenges. Strategic links with the Transnational Institute, Oxfam, ActionAid, La Via Campesina and environmental justice networks globally will provide a platform for engagement with a wide range of activist groups and social movements concerned with environmental change and sustainability.
The regional hubs of the STEPS Global Consortium, along with our extensive 300-strong alumni network, will provide a network for engagement and dissemination, linking the research to particular policy communities across five continents. For example, the strong links between the South Asia hub and the People's Science Movement and urban activists across India provides on-going opportunities for linking to urban sustainability agendas. The Africa and China hubs have well-developed networks in the sustainable energy and low carbon field, actively linking into global climate negotiations. And the Latin America hub has long-standing links with policymakers and activists concerned with open knowledge and innovation systems. On-going research in affiliated projects encompasses our existing research domains of energy/climate, agriculture/food, resource politics, urban change and health/disease, each with already defined networks for engagement and influencing in place. Through investment in the Centre's core platform functions, we will enhance this through our web-based communications activity and through ongoing presence on social media.
Longer-term capacity impacts will emerge through continuing our annual Summer School at Sussex, together with development of our e-learning site and methods portal, as well as teaching curricula at postgraduate level at Sussex, and across our Consortium that has STEPS concepts, methods and practical examples at their core. Our aim is to create a Centre, linked to the wider Consortium, which has long-term financial and institutional security in order to address the SDG implementation challenges to 2030. Through this we will demonstrate the importance of integrative social science to global economic and social goals, and so a long-term legacy of ESRC Centre funding, aligned with ESRC/UKRI strategic priorities.

Title | Hidden Paths |
Description | Global climate strikes are calling for 'system change, not climate change', but what does this mean? Extreme weather, automation, political instability, inequality: these crises are connected in deep and often invisible ways. Hidden Paths welcomes us inside the troubled systems that we live in to see how they could be transformed. Through a series of artworks, this exhibition invites us to rethink our relationships with technology, nature and each other. Visitors to Hidden Paths will navigate through 3 layers: Now, Change and Possible. From a sonic waterfall to sculptures, recipes, film and video, and an immersive VR experience, the artworks explore how we imagine the future, transformations in time, money and work, glimpses of new urban spaces, community ownership and the commons, and changed relationships to nature. In a time of crises, the exhibition provides a reflective space to think differently about the present and the future - with cultures of care, collaboration and collective agency at its heart. The Hidden Paths exhibition was been created by artists in the Brighton-based System Change Hive - emerging and established artists working with researchers, communications experts, VR technologists and local community groups, to reveal hidden paths to brighter, fairer and more sustainable futures. It was shown at the ONCA gallery in Brighton from 16-20 October 2019 as part of the Brighton Digital Festival. |

Description | The overall objective of our Transition Phase was to connect research and action across five continents in ways that improve political and practical responses to the interconnected challenges of the SDGs. We achieved this through a programme of knowledge exchange activities that promote transdisciplinary learning, networking and collective influence on policy and practice at a number of levels. We drew on the base of evidence generated by the STEPS Centre and partners in new activities around the themes of transformations, uncertainty, natures and methods as part of an annual event series. - Transformations: In March 2018 we co-hosted the conference Authoritarian Populism and the Rural World. The 2018 conference resulted in the formation of regional working groups in North America, Europe, Latin America, southeast Asia and Africa, resulting in an array of outputs linking research and activism. - Uncertainty: our international symposium explored uncertainty 12 themes (including banking/finance, insurance, governance, technology, infrastructures, cities, climate change, disease, disasters/emergencies, migration/mobility, conflict/security/terrorism/crime, and culture/religion/perception), and resulted in some important outputs, including a podcast series, a blog series, a working paper and an open access edited book (The Politics of Uncertainty: Challenges of Transformation). (see steps-centre.org/uncertainty) - Natures: Our Natures year reflected on crisis and the pandemic, recordings of POLLEN conference sessions, 3 essays/comics on crisis, conflicts and culture. (see steps-centre.org/natures) - Methods: Our work highlighted the importance of transdisciplinary working and scholar-activist engagements, and our series of events in 2021 highlighted issues of power and coloniality in research structures and methodologies. Outputs included a series of videos and discursive blog posts, and a repository of methods (see steps-centre.org/methods) During the 'transition' phase, we continued to mobilise past STEPS Centre research to focus on contemporary issues. This included work on climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic and energy policy, for example. To support informed debate around the pandemic, for example, we created a one-stop research portal to a collection of research by the STEPS Centre over many years (see steps-centre.org/coronavirus). During this phase, we have additionally worked on new and updated older impact stories, now rebranded as 'Stories of Change', documenting our work across ten themes, including transformations, climate change, uncertainty, SDGs, capacity building, pandemics, grassroots innovation, resource politics, urban transformations and agriculture (see steps-centre.org/stories-of-change). |
Exploitation Route | Findings have informed further work in a number of arenas - policy, art/culture, governance of science and technology, international development and in local alliance building around sustainability objectives. For example, the work in our 2020 Natures year has provided the basis for a new initiative, Future Natures, which brings commoners and researchers together around issues of enclosures and ecology. Our 2019 Uncertainty year has fed into the PASTRES programme, which is now exploring lessons shared between pastoralism and those working on humanitarian outcomes, migration, disease, insurance and economics. Our Methods work is being taken forward by our partners in Kenya and Mexico, who are actively working on training and dialogues with others in their regions. |

Description | Four themes have structured work during the Transitions Phase: 'transformations' (2018), 'uncertainties' (2019), 'natures' (2020) and 'methods' (2021). During the transformations year we developed links with arts and media communities at the University of Brighton, and Swarm Dynamics, an arts advocacy group, with an exhibition including virtual reality exhibits, shown in Brighton and several other UK venues. The co-hosted 2018 event on Authoritarian Populism involved 350 researchers and activists from across the world, and has led to ongoing partnerships between activists and scholars. Our 2019 work on uncertainties included engagement with practitioners from the NGO sector, working on humanitarian issues, and has informed practical work with vulnerable communities in Bangladesh and India as part of the ISC-funded TAPESTRY project. Our Natures (2020) work has led to the formation of a new network of commoners and scholars to share learning. |

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. |

Results and Impact | The above picture shows one of the walls in the room reserved for the exhibition "Bogatepe Charter of Futures" which was assembled in the course of the 17th Istanbul Biennial, September - November 2022. The leading artist of the project, also a shepherd from the pastoralist community of Northern Spain, Fernando Garcia Dory, installed on the wall the plants brought from pastures of Bogatepe, along with lyrics of a local artistic verbal expression, bayati or mani. Bogatepe Environment and Life Association (BÇYD) have been organizing workshops and training programmes on the traditional uses and scientific methods of identifying, collecting, and protecting edible, aromatic, and medicinal plants. This unique way of combining words and pictorial representations of plants was dedicated to the villagers and depicted their relationship with the plants in their pastures. |

Results and Impact | In week 5, the session began by splitting up into smaller groups, sharing ideas about how the exhibition might look and feel. Linked to this is a much broader question: if you could shape the world you wanted, what would it look and feel like? I felt inspired by the collective desire expressed by the group to create something responsive; to listen to and learn from each other, and interact with the public. I felt a palpable buzz of excitement and nerves in the room as the group was thinking through ideas for how this might work in practice. |

Results and Impact | Since 2017 I have been advising the Brighton and Hove Food Partnership in their efforts to develop the city's food strategy and action plan as part of an expert group. These efforts were recently rewarded when Brighton and Hove became the first city to win a Gold Sustainable Food Places Award from Sustainable Food Places (2020). The award recognises the city's outstanding achievements on a range of key food issues and most recently on tackling food poverty during the Covid-19 pandemic. |

Results and Impact | For two years, J. Mario Siqueiros-García, as part of the STEPS North America hub, worked with local farmers, residents from irregular urban settlements, and academics in a Transformation Laboratory (T-Lab). The project aimed to re-frame and identify novel ways for promoting individual agency and understandings of the Xochimilco social-ecological system, and provide a space for exploring the conditions that foster collective agency. Drawing on the learnings from this T-Lab experience, this seminar will explore more deeply the connection between the concept of agency and the Xochimilco landscape as a social-ecological system. Mario will argue in favour of a process ontology that seems to correspond with the pathways approach, in which agency and the social-ecological system as a unit, play a central role. |

Results and Impact | Pastoralism is a way of life for millions of people around the world. Though they ensure food security in some of the world's harshest environments, pastoralist groups - many of them made up of Indigenous Peoples - are largely excluded from public discourse and policy-making surrounding land use and tenure. This marginalization is compounded by the degradation of their ancestral lands, the depletion of their natural resources, and the systematic violation of their rights. Agroecology Fund grantee partners from Africa to Asia to the Americas are defending pastoralist land and cultures while restoring grazelands and Indigenous breeds. In doing so, they strengthen community food security and sovereignty and conserve ancestral practices that are cornerstones of climate-resilient food systems. |

Results and Impact | A new open access book - Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Development - makes the case that recognising how pastoralists make productive use of variability and embrace uncertainty is central to understanding how pastoral systems in marginal dryland and montane systems work. This offers wider lessons for rethinking development policy and practice for today's uncertain, turbulent world. The book emerges from the work of the PASTRES programme, which is supported by a European Research Council Advanced Grant and is co-hosted by IDS and the European University Institute. |

Results and Impact | The numerous external interventions focused on resilience are often disconnected from local realities, as we discussed in the first blog in this series. Certain standard formulations of problem and solution are offered, informed frequently by a negative narrative about pastoralism and the need for its transformation. The result is a predictable set of standardised 'resilience' projects. Ranging from the mundane to the fantastical, they all too often fail or, worse, create forms of dependency on external aid in the face of recurrent crisis. So, what is the alternative? Can resilience be built from below drawing on local practices and networks? |

Results and Impact | The United Nations' COP28 conference on climate change, currently underway in Dubai, highlights sensitive questions over food and land, including many relevant for pastoral areas. In agrarian settings around the world, climate change involves disrupted weather patterns, as well as changes to seasons and conditions for animals. These impacts come on top of class inequalities and other social injustices, and the pressures of globalisation and industrialisation of food systems. Meanwhile, countries around the world are under pressure to reform food and land to mitigate or adapt to climate change. As carbon emissions continue to rise rapidly, high-level political demands increase for more dramatic and radical changes on shorter timescales. |

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 | In every sphere of life, different methods and power relations are at play. The dynamics and dimensionality of power and methods are evident in different disciplines, more so in research and academia. Historically, the seat of power in research is seen to be the global north, while the global south is seen to follow, with any dissenting voices that may challenge the status quo ignored, or not given safe spaces to express their dissent. This has triggered researchers today (especially in the global south) to interrogate the current methods and dynamics of power in the hope to decolonize them. |

In this post, we challenge mainstream narratives around livestock and climate change. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post. Livestock are an important contributor to greenhouse gases and therefore climate change. But PASTRES has been asking, which livestock and where are to blame? Too often all livestock are lumped together, with industrial livestock systems being talked about in the same breath as extensive, mobile systems like pastoralism. |

Here in the UK, the recent hot-weather days in February might have felt unsettling, even as your body welcomed the warmth and sunshine. Meanwhile, people in some parts of the United States were caught in freezing winter storms, with businesses closed, and people stuck in homes without power. Elsewhere, in Kutch, in the Indian State of Gujurat, local people currently are struggling to maintain their livelihoods, having seen only 26 per cent of its 30-year annual average rainfall.

Results and Impact | Climate change is drawing us into a complex and uncertain future. Climate Uncertainty and the Arts is a working paper which explores how the arts might contribute. One thing is certain: the risk management techniques we currently use to control companies, projects, and financial portfolios are dangerously overrated. Within carefully defined limits, they are perfectly okay at what they do. But climate change demands big societal changes, and for those changes we shouldn't rely solely on such techniques - everything from enterprise-level risk matrices, to Climate VaR or portfolio temperature alignment - any more than we should try to cross the Pacific Ocean in a toy boat. |

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 | By Niak Sian Koh (Stockholm Resilience Centre, Sweden) and Amos Ochieng (Department of Forestry, Biodiversity and Tourism, Makerere University, Uganda). In an attempt to address the crucial problem of biodiversity loss, governments, conservation NGOs and the private sector are experimenting with different approaches to increase sources of funding for conservation. On a global level, the Convention on Biological Diversity (an international treaty for conserving biodiversity, signed by a majority of the world's governments) has recommended certain 'innovative financing mechanisms' to mobilize resources for conservation from the private sector. However, concerns exist over potential social and environmental problems that may arise from the use of these mechanisms. On a governmental level, the Uganda Wildlife Authority (a government agency mandated to manage all conservation areas in Uganda) grants concessions to private sport-hunting companies to conduct sport hunting in and around some protected areas. The benefits that accrue are supposed to be shared with the local communities, based on the agreed terms and conditions, as stipulated in the concession agreements. |

What are 'emancipatory' possibilities or 'alternative' rural politics in practice in settings that may simultaneously seem to have been left behind by globalized capitalism, yet represent the new (last?) frontiers of enclosure, extraction and financialization? Informed by insights from political ecology, alongside other approaches and methods from critical social science and radical practice, presentations in this session explore relationships between historical and contemporary rural struggles, forms of resistance and mobilization, and practices of imagining and creating alternatives, encouraging a comparative conversation. part of the Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI). |

Results and Impact | In the new collection of articles, researchers with the Emancipatory Rural Politics Initiative (ERPI) explore how rural people have been targeted by authoritarian populism, and how they have embraced or resisted it in different ways. Often ignored, stereotyped or patronised, there are many examples of rural people building forms of solidarity and support. The articles (open access until December 2019) are featured in a Forum on Authoritarian Populism and the Rural World in the Journal of Peasant Studies, part of the ERPI's series of events and research on the topic. |

Results and Impact | This blog provides a brief overview of the sixth chapter of the newly published book Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Development edited by Ian Scoones. Many standard development interventions in the drylands of northern Kenya aim to manage and control risk. Early warning systems, social protection support and humanitarian aid delivery are all premised on such assumptions. In presenting fixed, management responses, they do not engage with uncertainty, where the future is not known and nor do they articulate with pastoralists' own practices that must embrace uncertainties on a day-to-day basis. The chapter asks: how do pastoralists in Northern Kenya, Isiolo, confront uncertainties through collective solidarities and redistribution in the form of moral economy practices? And how does this articulate with the standard development aid/humanitarian response? |

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 third chapter of the book focuses on the experiences of the Rabari of western India. Pastoralists of the region engage with uncertain futures by making real-time adjustments to their mobility in the here-and-now. Applying a temporal lens, the chapter emphasises the nomadic 'present' as the arena in and through which pastoralists manage change and uncertainty through different forms of mobility. |

Results and Impact | The STEPS symposium on 'the politics of uncertainty' made me think about a couple of questions that I have been concerned with in my research work, but that I have so far mostly approached from a perspective of risk, and how risk is translated into space ('riskscapes'). The symposium addressed the issue of uncertainty and 'unknown unknowns' primarily as a political challenge and a problem for decision-making. I suppose this problematisation has a lot to do with our awareness of a global condition that seems to get out of control, because the future is overshadowed by uncertainties about climate change and anticipated disasters. This is one of a series of blog posts by participants following the STEPS symposium The Politics of Uncertainty: Practical Challenges for Transformative Action.

Results and Impact | The seed breeding initiative Bioleft has received funding to work with more varieties of seeds in Argentina, and to develop a 'sister' initiative in Mexico. Bioleft is an 'open source', distributed seed breeding initiative that Cenit researchers, in close collaboration with public sector plant breeders, lawyers, and farmers' organizations, have been developing in Argentina over the past two years. The initiative emerged through our work within the STEPS Consortium's Pathways Network project, which has been experimenting with co-producing inclusive, practical solutions to key sustainability challenges. The idea behind Bioleft is to enable a network of plant breeders and farmers to exchange, test and collaboratively improve seeds at multiple sites, and in doing so create the kernel of an alternative seed innovation system that addresses some of the many challenges posed by an oligopolistic seed sector. We have developed three important things. legal contracts for releasing and exchanging seeds, based an open-source principles, much like the Creative Commons licenses used by writers and artists, but which in this case enforces the continued sharing of knowledge and seed material. a web based platform for recording transfers of seed material and, and for supporting a process of collaborative seed improvement, between plant breeders and farmers and most importantly a community of public sector plant breeders and farming organizations who now co-own Bioleft and are keen to experiment with it. Two new recent sources of funding mean that we can continue to develop and extend Bioleft. |

Results and Impact | This blog provides a brief overview of the eighth chapter of our newly published book Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Development edited by Ian Scoones. This chapter reflects on the experience of young entrepreneurial pastoralists in Douiret in the drylands of Southern Tunisia, and how they are able to accumulate livestock flexibly, despite numerous uncertainties. What do dynamics of wealth accumulation through livestock look like in drylands? How do pastoralists organize relationships and resources to accumulate livestock, while living with various forms of economic and environmental uncertainties? How can pastoralism be combined with labour migration assuring livestock accumulation in an uncertain setting? |

Results and Impact | This is the fifth in a series of blog posts that bring together PASTRES work from 2018-2023 around a number of themes. In this post, we explore the theme of land and resources. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post. A core theme of PASTRES work has been exploring what forms of land use and tenure make sense given highly variable rangeland systems and the need for mobility. Much debate about land governance focuses on whether ideal type systems of private, state, or communal tenure are the most effective. Instead, we find that hybrid land governance, with overlapping institutions operating across complex land mosaics, is the most appropriate for sustaining (at least partially) mobile forms of pastoralism. This means the assembling of hybrid institutions, often with complex characteristics of both private, state, and communal forms, as well as maintaining 'fuzzy' and flexible boundaries between tenure types. |

Results and Impact | On 9-18 July the UN's High-Level Political Forum meets to discuss progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This meeting takes the theme of "Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality". The theme particularly addresses goals around education, growth and employment, inequality, climate change, peace, justice and inclusion, and partnerships. The theme is a crucial one for the SDGs. Empowerment and inclusion are more than just buzzwords. People cannot be excluded or disempowered from decision-making and action, if sustainability is to be achieved. This means paying attention to who is left out and which perspectives are marginalised. It also means a thoughtful approach to 'empowerment' which recognises the many subtle ways that power and control can be exercised - even when people appear to be 'empowered' or 'included' in decisions. Addressing the climate, economic growth, education and justice is not straightforward. Decisions and goals will come up against powerful actors and agendas, but also complex livelihoods and environments, where many choices are possible, the ways forward are not obvious, and negotiation is required. To achieve inclusion and equality, the SDGs will need to provide a space for these political questions and for power to be challenged. |

Results and Impact | This paper examines a variety of theories bearing on 'socio-material incumbency' and explores methodological implications. The aim is to develop a systematic general approach, which builds on strengths and mitigates weaknesses in prevailing analytical frameworks. A particular priority lies in avoidance of self-acknowledged tendencies in existing theory to 'reify' central notions like 'the regime'. Such pictures may overstate the tractability of incumbency to conventional policy instruments and so inadvertently help reinforce it. |

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 | The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) potentially offer an inclusive, integrated approach to development, centred on social justice, for all of humanity. But how are they being implemented in practice? Too often a piece-meal, sectoral approach is adopted, rooted in modernist assumptions of linear transition and control. Drawing on the work of the ESRC STEPS Centre, this talk will offer a more radical vision of transformatory change, putting power and politics centre-stage. The talk will link the STEPS pathways approach with sustainable livelihoods perspectives to suggest a framework for thinking about and acting on transformations to sustainability for the SDGs. Drawing on examples from Argentina, Kenya, the UK and Zimbabwe, and differentiating structural, systemic and enabling perspectives on transformation, the talk will emphasise the need to foster a new politics for sustainability. |

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 blog provides a brief overview of the second chapter of our newly published book Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Development. The second chapter of the book is an exploration of pastoralists' understandings of uncertainty in China, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, Sardinia and Tunisia through visual methods. Using documentary photography and participatory photovoice approaches, the teams in each of the countries explored how different pastoralists (men, women; young, old; richer, poorer) understood 'uncertainty' and how intersecting uncertain events and processes have shaped their lives. |

Results and Impact | This blog is based on the seventh chapter of the newly published book Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Development edited by Ian Scoones. Insurance is often proposed as a way of offsetting risks and responding to disasters. Index-based livestock insurance (IBLI) has been offered to pastoralists in Borana zone in southern Ethiopia over the past few years. This aims to pay-out before the disaster strikes based on a predictive assessment of the season derived from satellite-based estimates of livestock forage availability. It sounds like a good solution, but does it work and for whom? Livestock insurance has a number of assumptions embedded in the design. These include that the coming season can be reliably predicted; that the effects play out uniformly over an area; that the drought strikes as a single event and that livestock are held individually and responses are individualised. |

Results and Impact | There have been huge investments in 'early warning' facilities across East Africa, prompted by previous emergencies where livestock have perished and people's lives have been threatened. The most recent of these was the drought that struck the Somali region in 2011-12, but affected parts of northern Kenya seriously too. Predicting droughts and communicating the predictions in terms of risk reports and early warning bulletins is now standard practice. Yet, despite all the talk of early warning, disaster risk reduction, shock-responsive systems, contingency planning and anticipatory action, the end results are mixed to say the least. |

Results and Impact | What we want you to know is: The main problem of nuclear energy today is that the cost is too high and too expensive, and this price usually does not include the cost of nuclear waste treatment. Even if the nuclear industry claims to have solved the problem of nuclear waste and achieved zero treatment costs, the cost competitiveness of nuclear power is still far higher than Not on renewable energy. |

Results and Impact | Pastoralism represents a primary source of livelihood in Sardinia. Traditional pastoral practices which made effective use of local territories have smartly integrated into international policy frames and global market networks. The Pecorino Romano is today one of the most exported cheeses in the world, and its commercialisation is a primary source of revenue for the Sardinian pastoral economy. The evolving EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has also provided significant economic and organisational support to Sardinian farmers. Supported mainly by these two pillars, Sardinian pastoralists typically navigate and continuously adapt to evolving uncertainties and shifting conditions, even as investigated by a PASTRES case study. |

Results and Impact | This is the third in a series of blog posts that bring together PASTRES work from 2018-2023 around a number of themes. In this post, we show the importance of mobility for pastoralists. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post. The ability to move to respond to variable conditions is central to pastoral strategies. This takes many forms, ranging from daily to seasonal to inter-annual movements. So what makes movement possible? As described in the research with the Rabari in Gujarat in India by Natasha Maru, movements are facilitated by social relations - amongst pastoralists themselves and with others, such as farmers - as well as technologies, including mobile phones, trucks, tractors and so on. |

Results and Impact | Throughout the history of rangeland governance in China, a mix of feudal, communal, and private uses of rangeland have been common. For example, before the 1950s, in the tsowa system, the land was owned by multiple actors with changing power relationships over its use and access. The tsowa system, was an important social structure comprised of the interdependent relationship between the monastery, tribal leaders, and their members, and had played a crucial role in rangeland governance before the 1950s. Then, from the late 1950s to the early 1980s, the land and the means of production were under the control of State collectives, although private ownership and customary practices continued to remain to some degree. However, since the 1980s, China's policies on rangeland governance have been based on the market. |

This workshop was both an opportunity for cross-case analysis of work from the project as well as part of a series of sustainability dialogues aimed at linking empirical research evidence to policy through a dialogue process that brings together researchers and policy makers as well as practitioners within natural resource sectors and climate change. The findings on "Governing the Nexus" research conducted on climate change, land, forest and governance were presented with the targeted proof of concept being that governance of environment (water, land, climate natural resources) and climate change involves both formal and informal institutions with cross sectoral coherence and interlocks. |

Results and Impact | This week the PASTRES programme shares two newly published books: The Rangelands: Collected Photography from the PASTRES Research Programme by Roopa Gogineni and Photovoice with Pastoralists: A Practical Guidebook by Shibaji Bose. Both books are open access and can be downloaded and viewed online: the links are at the end of this page. Photography, in academia and beyond, has a chequered past. In the hands of elites, cameras were long treated as objective tools of documentation. Photography's early use from war reporting to anthropological research rendered complex worlds in two dimensions. Over time, visual narratives converged and cemented. |

Results and Impact | Our free, open access online course on Pastoralism and Uncertainty has been updated with new sections. The three new sections explore the issues around biodiversity and climate change, shaped in part by high-level debates and contestations over land and food; and the policy frames that inform decisions affecting pastoralism in four regions of the globe - Sub-Saharan Africa, the Maghreb and Mashreq, Europe, and Asia. The updated course now includes 16 sections drawing on key concepts, case studies and questions for debate on pastoralism, uncertainty and resilience. In each section, there is a video to watch, plus questions to think about and a suggested reading list. As always, the whole course and all the video lectures are free to view, and many readings are open access. |

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 | ABOUT THE SEMINAR Nomadic pastoralism in the Arabian Peninsula has undergone significant change over the past 150 years as a response to alterations in its relationship with central authority. Efforts to settle and transform pastoralists into settled farmers - a key policy of Post WWI neo-colonial and later newly emerging nation states - has largely disappeared. Instead we see concentrated drives to label such communities as backward, economically irrational, and obsolete. More recently, a policy of 'benign' neglect has permitted pastoral communities in Arabia to adapt, resist and face new challenges from multinational extractive industry, global conservation organizations, and climate change. |

Results and Impact | STEPS member Prof Andy Stirling (SPRU) is among the panel for this public event on energy, as part of the annual EASST conference. The other panellists are Gillian Kelly and João Camargo, and the meeting is chaired by Maggie Mort of Lancaster University. From the website: "With a Science and Technology Studies sensibility we will see energy as an actor by exploring technologies and materials of energy and how they engage, imagine, undermine or support, think and plan with and through, energy systems. We aim in this meeting to pin down the category 'energy'; to ground it, by making visible some of the practices, strategies and encounters between humans and things, that are often hidden in political rhetorics. We do this by starting with some hidden encounters between civil and military nuclearities, then we consider some embodied resistances to the violence of fracking and then widen to the experiences of activists and campaigners in the climate justice movement." |

All are zoonotic diseases, ones that have jumped from animals to humans. Not all have turned into pandemics - where a disease spreads across multiple countries - but some certainly have pandemic potential, and many cause crippling disease and death. This list is just a few of well over a hundred zoonoses that affect humans, and the numbers are increasing. Blog written by Ian Scoones |

Results and Impact | This is the ninth in a series of blog posts that bring together PASTRES work from 2018-2023 around a number of themes. In this post, we discuss the theme of agrarian change. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post. An important theme running through PASTRES work is an understanding of patterns of livelihood change over time. Locating this within a framework of 'critical agrarian studies', we can see that pastoralists must confront many of the same challenges that settled peasant societies must also face, but they have important skills for living with and from uncertainty that others can learn from. |

Results and Impact | Even during the early days of my research on the pastoral systems of the Himalayan region, traces of climate change through warming temperatures were evident, and so was the influence of larger socio-economic changes, improved connectivity, and access to markets and education in the most remote pockets of the Indian Himalaya. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that pastoralists, the masters of adaptation to uncertainty, have used the opportunities of warming temperatures to diversify their livelihood, cultivating cash crops like green peas and apples in the region. With the changing economy, better connectivity, and access to education, there was a transition in the local livestock compositions, local demography, and people started hiring migrant labour for household chores as well as for the herding of their livestock. With the changing aspirations of the new generation and the entry of hired labour, the chain of knowledge transfer was impacted, revealing a clear sign of change in local resource management and herding practices. |

Results and Impact | Pastoralists' integration into market dynamics is mostly addressed through the lens of trade in meat products, involving male traders. Pastoral milk, mostly traded by women, is often ignored. But good production of healthy milk is definitely the best way to ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of a pastoral system at whatever level. Milk is central in the livelihood of pastoral households. Its nutritional, social and economic roles have been comprehensively assessed. Yet, in 1989, a World Bank report suggested that it was infeasible to commercialise milk production among pastoralists. However, the commoditisation of pastoral milk is a fact, and its shift from a pure household staple to a marketable good has spurred dramatic reconfigurations of local economies and livelihoods across pastoral regions. Dramatic increases in urban populations, and recent increases in milk powder prices on international markets, have made pastoral milk increasingly competitive in many local markets. Nowadays thousands of litres of fresh milk and dairy products move from remote rangelands to growing markets in many sub-Saharan African regions on a daily basis. The same is true in Asia and Europe. The seasonal fluctuation of milk production and consumption patterns, as well as its market pricing, are good indicators of the local rangelands productivity, animal conditions as well as pastoral household economies. |

Results and Impact | This is the tenth in a series of blog posts that bring together PASTRES work from 2018-2023 around a number of themes. In this post, we discuss the theme of pandemics. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post. The COVID-19 pandemic occurred right in the middle of the PASTRES programme. It massively disrupted our research plans and influenced how we were able to engage in the field. It also provided an important opportunity to reflect on how uncertain events - the focus of our research explorations - were played out in pastoral settings, and whether there were any wider lessons we could draw. The pandemic also prompted much methodological innovation, as movement restrictions both for pastoralists and researchers often prevented us meeting as we had before. Instead, the use of social media, remote use of photovoice and photography (resulting in a photography exhibition and book) were important ways of exploring the uncertainties of pandemic times through different media, as explored by Roopa Gogineni and Shibaji Bose in chapter 2 of our collective book. |

In this post, we explore the role of pastoralists in rangeland conservation. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post. Pastoralists are often blamed for environmental destruction - not only the climate but processes of 'desertification' and 'biodiversity loss' too. Of course, there are conditions where concentrations of people and animals can cause damage, but as with every pastoral system, there are lots of misunderstandings that confuse policymaking around the world. |

In this post, we discuss the theme of resilience in pastoral systems. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post. Variability in environmental, climate, market, political, and other conditions affects all pastoralists. Living with and from variability is central to pastoral livelihoods, as was discussed in our Pastoralism Primer and open-access book. But sometimes, major shocks - such as droughts - or more often combinations of shocks and stresses - when droughts combine with conflict, disease outbreaks, or rapid changes in market conditions - disrupt the ability of pastoralists to respond effectively. There is much discussion in development circles about enhancing 'resilience' in pastoral areas. But what does this mean? |

Results and Impact | Uncertainties of all sorts - environmental, market-based and political - are on the rise, as the world faces climate and environmental change, as well as market volatility and political turmoil. Learning lessons from pastoralists is therefore important for all of us, as well as ensuring that development efforts are more effective across the world's rangelands, where millions of pastoralists live. In this episode of the IDS Between the Lines podcast, Rashmi Singh, interviews Professor Ian Scoones whose book: Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Development - makes the case that recognising how pastoralists make productive use of variability and embrace uncertainty is central to understanding how pastoral systems in marginal dryland and montane systems work. |

Results and Impact | A few months ago, I presented the findings of a new book, The Water-Food-Energy Nexus: Power, Politics and Justice, to an International Water Association conference on the same topic at Salerno. To my great surprise, I was the only social scientist out of 200 participants. Nexus approaches help to bridge the separate domains of water, energy and food to highlight the links and interactions between them. For example, hydroelectric dams are obviously sources of energy, but they need (and use) water for it, with knock-on effects for food - changing the conditions for irrigation, fishing or groundwater - in the areas where they operate. So, anyone responsible for large projects, including in developing countries, can use the Nexus to make decisions and think through what problems or synergies they might create. So for many engineers and environmental economists, who made up most of the audience, the Nexus is an exciting new idea. It presents them with the practical challenge of modelling ever more complexity and interactions between the resources they work with. In fact, the Nexus is becoming so engineering-dominated that our new book is sold on Amazon under the topic of civil engineering! Written by Jeremy Allouche |

Results and Impact | A paper that I recently published in the journal Landscape Ecology lays out an approach for integration of social science concepts into analyses of vegetation change in rangelands of Kenya. I intended this paper to open up a reflexive dialogue between social scientists and ecologists working in rangelands. By focusing on the different social, political, and economic factors that mediate access to land, landscape ecology could produce more nuanced understandings of ecological change. People practising pastoralism "live off" ecologically variable land. But they have also been affected by different constraints that limit the way they relate to land. I argue that by being more attentive to different types of social and political power that have influenced conservation interventions, ecologists working in rangelands in Kenya would also produce better science. |

Results and Impact | This is the eighth in a series of blog posts that bring together PASTRES work from 2018-2023 around a number of themes. In this post, we discuss the role of moral economies in pastoral systems. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post. PASTRES work has highlighted how standard approaches to social assistance, humanitarian aid, social protection, and insurance are often not well-suited to pastoral areas. Once again, this is because of the prevailing conditions of variability and uncertainty. |

Results and Impact | I spent a fascinating three days at the STEPS Politics of Uncertainty Conference in July, and in the last few weeks have been mulling over what I have taken from the rich conversations we have had. I spent much of my time in a stream focused on uncertainty in the context of finance and banking. Mark Fenton-O'Creevy is Professor of Organisational Behaviour at The Open University Business School and Associate Dean of External Engagement. This article is one of a series of blog posts reflecting on the STEPS symposium The Politics of Uncertainty: Practical Challenges for Transformative Action. |

Results and Impact | What is the Sustainable Rural Livelihoods Approach (SRLA) and what is it good for - and what not? In this episode we are joined by Ian Scoones in conversation about this approach which he has been centrally involved in elaborating. Unlike political economy, the SRLA is not, and cannot provide, a theoretical framework, in that it does not contain any overarching analysis of social processes. Ian describes the approach as having quite modest claims - as a generic set of empirical questions about complex rural worlds, centered on the question: what do people do all day to survive? Since the 1990s, the 'development industry' and donor agencies have widely and uncritically adopted 'sustainable livelihoods' in a depoliticised way. Ian responds to this, and the criticism that the approach focuses on the micro level and is highly descriptive - and anathema to political economy. Insofar as questions about livelihoods address questions about ownership of resources, labour, distribution of benefits and accumulation, he argues that it can be compatible and usefully integrated with class analysis. |

Results and Impact | Moving across northern Kenya, roadsides are strewn with signs proclaiming projects creating 'resilience' amongst pastoral communities. The 'Regional Pastoral Livelihoods Resilience Project', the 'Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods' programme, the 'Resilience Consortium' and many more. Mission statements talk of creating a "prosperous and resilient community", "ending drought emergencies" through resilience building, the generation of a "resilience dividend", linking "resilience and accelerated economic growth" and so on. The resilience buzzword is ubiquitous. But what does it mean, and what are the limitations of the current approach? |

This is largely because efforts to achieve stable and expanding livelihoods vary with the critical infrastructures upon which the livestock-related activities depend. |

Results and Impact | OCTOBER 15 @ 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM This event is part of the TransAction Pre-Conference Workshops at Transformations 2019 in Santiago, Chile. Experimental spaces for supporting collective processes of deliberation and learning about sustainability challenges, and testing possible solutions, are of increasing interest. An example of these are T-Labs ('transformation laboratories'), which are highly facilitated, multi-stakeholder spaces of interaction and dialogue aimed at co-creating new visions and practices for social-ecological sustainability in specific settings. Three projects from the Transformations to Sustainability programme, T-Learning, Pathways and ACKnowl-EJ, have experimented with and reframed T-Labs, enriching our understanding of transformation itself, and of specific, complex social-ecological systems and their challenges in a wide range of contexts. This TransAction Workshop will bring together a wide range of participants to engage in dialogue, exchange of experience and exploration of the T-Lab framework, and to critically assess its potential to support processes of socialecological transformation. The framework and its methods will be applied to two cases related to extractive sectors in Latin America. The first case is mining, drawing on the knowledge of the new T2S project Gold Matters. The second case is agriculture, building upon Pathways experience. The use of T-Lab processes has great potential for exploring the role of extractive sectors in enabling and advancing transformations to sustainability in Latin America. The workshop will propose tools not only to academics but also to policy makers, practitioners, activists and everyone who is interested in designing multi-stakeholder spaces of transformation in the context of sustainability challenges in general and in extractive sectors such as mining and agriculture in particular. The workshop will be carried out in Spanish. In the case that some participants do not speak Spanish, it is expected that translation will be collaborative, with the aid of participants bofrom the T2S projects and external attendants. |

Results and Impact | Over the next few weeks, we're sharing seven comics in a new series entitled 'Uncertain Worlds'. It explores stories about uncertainty in the worlds of pastoralism, economics and finance, pandemics, migration, humanitarian aid, insurance and knowledge networks. Many of the comics draw on lessons from pastoralists, whose ways of life can help to challenge our assumptions of how to respond to the unpredictable and unknown. |

Results and Impact | In the run-up to the crash, the financial sector had become too reliant on complex algorithms and models. Some economic models had assumed such a crisis was impossible. Trades were being made in nanoseconds, and volatility spread very fast. Although the bankers thought they understood risks, it was clear that they had not been prepared for uncertainty and 'unknown unknowns'. Reflecting on these events, and on the practices of those who confront uncertainty every day - including pastoralists - can point to important lessons for the financial sector. They suggest the need to treat opaque and complex risk-based models and algorithms with caution, and acknowledge the possibility of surprise, allowing space for deliberation and better communication. |

Results and Impact | The fourth comic in our 'Uncertain Worlds' series focuses on migration. Every year, millions of people migrate locally or across borders. Many migration policies focus on control, managing the risks, predictability and stability. But the experiences of migrants themselves are more uncertain, unpredictable and variable. Migration flows are complex and multi-directional, and simple 'push' and 'pull' factors often don't apply. Focusing on migration as a 'crisis' assumes that there's a stable balance to return to. But migration is unpredictable and non-linear, and it varies in speed and scale. Those responsible for migration policy must acknowledge the real experiences of people on the move. In doing so, they can learn from the strategies of pastoralists, using mobility to create reliability from uncertainty. |

Results and Impact | The fourth comic in our 'Uncertain Worlds' series looks at the lessons from recent disease outbreaks. Thinking differently about uncertainties could point to alternative ways to respond to pandemics. When disease outbreaks occur, the dominant tendency is to attempt to manage and control. Epidemiological models are developed, technologies deployed and lockdown measures and other public health measures instituted. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, many meetings and reports have focused on centralised planning, modelling and prediction capacity, surveillance systems, big data technologies, rapid response teams, drug and vaccine research and development and stockpiling and purchase arrangements. To respond more effectively, other approaches are also needed, which are sometimes neglected in planning for outbreaks. These include appreciating multiple knowledges, learning from those on the ground; seeing outbreaks as unfolding over time rather than as discrete 'events'; understanding local differences and responses, and unpredictable behaviour; understanding how diseases interact with other vulnerabilities and acknowledging that longer-term impacts can't be fully known. This suggests a very different approach to 'pandemic preparedness'. |

Results and Impact | The fifth comic in our 'Uncertain Worlds' series focuses on how social assistance and humanitarian relief are provided in the context of conflicts, crises and disasters. In these settings, where state capacities are weak, uncertainties are common. So why are so many humanitarian, social assistance and disaster relief operations based on risk assessment and management, where stability and predictability are assumed? In conflict and disasters, things are unpredictable, and surprises can happen. Rather than relying on fixed plans, aid programmes need to experiment, improvise, adapt and learn. The best way to do this is to keep in close touch with what's happening on the ground. This means rethinking the importance given to fixed budgets, standardised targeting and uniform protocols. Instead, flexible contingency planning and anticipatory financing can help to respond to uncertainty, alongside a focus on working together with local people. |

Results and Impact | The sixth comic in our 'Uncertain Worlds' series looks at insurance - which is increasingly offered to pastoralists as a way to protect against losses from drought and other hazards. Livestock insurance usually focuses on a single hazard, with premiums paid by an individual and with risks assessed in a delimited area. However, insurance is not always a good fit for highly uncertain environments. Alongside insurance, there are other ways for pastoralists to respond to uncertainties, based on longer traditions of collective moral economy. For example, pastoralists may share and loan livestock with family and friends, spreading the risk. Mobility is also an important strategy, requiring skilled herding and knowledge of where grazing and water can be found. Although insurance works for some pastoralists, it's too expensive for others, and other forms of solidarity and mutual support will continue to be important. |

Results and Impact | The seventh and final comic in our 'Uncertain Worlds' series looks at the key people and networks who help pastoralism to work reliably in an uncertain world. Critical infrastructures like power stations, electricity grids and air traffic control need to be highly reliable. These infrastructures need skilled people to plan ahead, share knowledge and improvise when things go wrong. Pastoralism can be considered as a 'critical infrastructure' too. Pastoralists are experts at getting reliable produce out of variable conditions. To do this, they share knowledge in local networks. 'High reliability professionals' in these networks act as brokers, connectors and facilitators. Their skills and attributes are vital, but not always recognised in the plans and approaches of governments and development agencies. |

Results and Impact | This blog is based on the fifth chapter of the newly published book Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Development edited by Ian Scoones. Pastoral producers in Sardinia, Italy face highly volatile markets for their sheep's milk, resulting in huge uncertainties for production and marketing. Sardinia produces the world's largest supply of Pecorino Romano cheese, which is exported across the world. As a result, pastoralists are tied into a global supply chain and suffer the downsides of an uncertain, globalised marketing arrangement, as well as its benefits in terms of a guaranteed market. The chapter asks, how do pastoralists in Sardinia navigate this? How do they combine markets and marketing strategies to ensure reliable incomes in the face of high price volatility? The chapter explores five different strategies through a series of case studies, based on in-depth ethnographic work. |

Results and Impact | Another ongoing and severe drought in East Africa has reopened debates on the viability of pastoralism, alternative livelihoods, and ways to support resilience. 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. |

The biodiversity COP in Montreal in December aims to seal a deal to protect the world's ecosystems (the post-2020 framework). But in order to 'restore' ecosystems, it's important to understand what 'degradation' is and what is being restored to what. This is less straightforward than it seems. |

Results and Impact | As the climate conference, COP27, kicks of in Sharm el Sheik in Egypt debates about agriculture and land use will be centre stage. And amongst these discussions the role of livestock in the future of food and agricultural systems will be hotly debated. Unfortunately, many of these debates are poorly informed and misleading, frequently hitting the wrong target. There are strong arguments for reducing the impact of livestock farming in places like the Amazon where expansion of pastures or crops for fodder is encroaching on valuable rainforest areas. Equally there are good reasons for many in the rich West to reduce the consumption of meat and milk from high input industrial systems. |

Results and Impact | This is the sixth in a series of blog posts that bring together PASTRES work from 2018-2023 around a number of themes. In this post, we show the importance of markets for pastoralists. To read through our archive on this theme, click on the link at the end of this post. Pastoralists are always involved in markets. Selling animals and their products is an essential part of any pastoral livelihood, and many pastoralists are involved in long-distance, globalised trade, trekking animals over long distances or selling to traders who move animals to terminal markets many thousands of kilometres away, often in different countries. The livestock trade in the Greater Horn of Africa, for example, contributes to billions of dollars of revenue, both for states and others involved in marketing, as well as sustaining livelihoods across the region. |

The Pathways Network, now in its final year, will share findings and insights from its series of 'Transformation Labs' around the world. The TAPESTRY project, which began in 2018, explores how transformation may arise 'from below' in marginal environments with high levels of uncertainty. |
