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. |

| 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 | 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 | 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. |

| Description | Can Understanding Pastoral Systems Help Us Respond to Global Uncertainties? |

| 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 | 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 practice, however, CRISPRcon 2019 was a cleverly choreographed greenwashing rally, funded by corporations such as Bayer and Editas Medicine, industry associations such as Plantum and United Soybean Board, and research centres such as the Innovative Genomics Institute and the Flemish Institute for Biotechnology. |

| Results and Impact | Depending who and where you are in the world, you will be experiencing the effects of climate change differently. 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 | 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 | 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 | 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. |

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 | Embracing uncertainty, by choice or by necessity, is something migrants, victims of political violence, and people holding a religious belief have in common. What could we learn from their experiences about a broader understanding of living with uncertainty, and how can this inform other domains and contexts? This was the heart of the debate in one of the interdisciplinary clusters of the STEPS symposium on the Politics of Uncertainty in July 2019. |

| 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? |

| 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 | 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 | 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. |

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 | A new online course introduces key debates and concepts about pastoralism, and explores the varying ways that pastoralists respond to uncertainty around the world. Based on the work of PASTRES, a research programme linked to the STEPS Centre, the course is aimed at students, practitioners and policy-makers. It is divided into 13 parts with a lecture, suggested readings and questions in each part. All the course lectures and many of the readings are open access, and the course is designed for people to study at their own pace. |

| 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. |

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 | 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 | 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 | One of the abiding images of the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak in the UK has been the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, looking nervous and uncomfortable, flanked by his scientific advisors at the regular press conferences. With three white men in suits in a wood-panelled room, the aim presumably was to project a sense of control and authority. The rhetoric - that the government's response was always 'led by the science' - was reinforced. Blog post written by Ian Scoones |

Drawing on international examples, they reflect on past transformations as examples of positive change and examine the factors that have contributed to recent heightened awareness and emergency narratives. They discuss the tensions between the need for urgent green transformations and issues of inequality, social justice and rights, and call on an evidence-based politics of hope, to drive humanity towards a sustainable, just future. Interviewing them is Andrew Simms, author, political economist, activist and the coordinator of the Rapid Transition Alliance. |

| 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. |

| Geographic Reach | International |
| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| 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 |

| Primary Audience | Professional Practitioners |
| 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. |
