TITLE: Belmont Forum Pathways scoping workshop
DATE: June 2nd, 2019
TIME: all day workshop
LOCATION: San Marco Hotel - Brasilia, Brazil - https://sanmarco.com.br/site/o-hotel/

SUMMARY:
The Belmont Forum and its partners recognize that we currently lack a truly integrated, comprehensive qualitative and quantitative understanding of sustainable development pathways that account for the inter-linkages between the economy, technology, environment, climate, and human development, and that anchor within the constraints of a sustainable Earth system. To help provide a science base for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Belmont Forum and partners are exploring integrated qualitative and quantitative approaches to develop transformation pathways for sustainable development. This challenge needs direct input from the international research community and stakeholders to discuss critical questions or issues around the topic.
This scoping workshop is an opportunity to further coordination efforts with various levels of government, national funding agencies, and other non-state actors. The IAI Directorate and the Belmont Forum can act as a catalyst for action towards those goals. During this scoping workshop we seek to bring together, funders and researchers to understand the potential priorities for research regarding SDG development pathways.
The desired outcome of the workshop would be walking away with knowing where we think the community is regarding research progress and current activities, and with an idea of the research that needs to be supported to meet those goals. This engagement can help directly gauge the research and funding community’s readiness to address these research challenges; identify the need for further networking and community building, and gaps in funding.
Please, RSVP.
