From Knowledge to Action in Global Change and Sustainability Science.
Science is undergoing a fascinating transformation process as the
demands and challenges facing science grow. In times of global change
and a dramatic loss of sustainability from local to global scales,
science has to shoulder ever greater responsibilities. Given this
context the question of how to move from knowledge to action becomes
more and more crucial.
This book looks at the design of the interface
between theory and praxis. It analyses the problems, offers examples,
makes action proposals and lists resources available to actors in
science and development. The volume draws upon the authors’ experience
as science consultants and project managers over the past fifteen
years.
Further studies were carried out in 2004 and 2005 with the
support of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
During that period a total of seventy experts were interviewed:
scientists, politicians, public administrators, and representatives of
NGOs, business and civil society.
