Starting points are diverse and trajectories are multiple. The Science-based Pathways for Sustainability Initiative aims to be an inclusive and integrative response to the pressing need to produce knowledge and understanding in systemic interactions, competing development agendas, and transformations in concrete contexts. Through the development of a Pathways Community of Practice (CoP), the initiative ambitions to build understanding of:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>How interactions at various scales in complex human-environment systems produce trade-offs or synergies within a context of competing development agendas and claims on resources;<\/li>\n<li>How transformations can be mobilized to enable expansion of integrated pathways to sustainability in diverse concrete contexts;<\/li>\n<li>How pathways and processes of transformation, which are likely to differ between places given differences in histories, contexts and values, interact across locations and scales, creating both tensions and synergies, and \u2018add up\u2019 to outcomes at the regional and global levels.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=&#8221;Visit Pathways Website&#8221; shape=&#8221;square&#8221; color=&#8221;lightgreenInitiatives&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fpathways.futureearth.org%2F|target:_blank&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1647267920047{margin-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-5&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1713962277629{margin-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Follow Us on LinkedIn<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fab fa-linkedin&#8221; color=&#8221;custom&#8221; custom_color=&#8221;#099ee1&#8243; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.linkedin.com%2Fcompany%2Fthe-pathways-initiative%2F|target:_blank&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1713962376249{margin-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row gap=&#8221;35&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1565375437529{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-8 vc_col-md-7&#8243;][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1635802409468{background-color: #e6e6e6 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] What is the Pathways Initiative?
