The Internship Mission
The complex spatial and temporal interactions that exist between Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) must be accounted for in order to comply with the aim, set in 2015 by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SDGs, to provide a common, integrated global framework for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.
Emphasizing the limitations of dominant research modes in reaching this goal, in 2019, the Global Sustainable Development Report laid out a framework for researchers, practitioners, decisionmakers, funders and civil society to work together to achieve āuniversally acceptable and mutually beneficial sustainability science,ā and identified the urgent need to produce knowledge and understanding in three key areas: systemic interactions, competing development agendas, and transformations in concrete contexts.
To build understanding of these key areas, Future Earthās Science-based Pathways for Sustainability initiative role is to support and encourage researchers from diverse disciplines to engage with societal actors (e.g. civil society, governments, private sector) in processes of adaptive learning to design, implement, and evaluate pathways to sustainability. The aim of the initiativeās activities is to foster an active international research community making a strong contribution to pathways for sustainability in practice.

Developing a monthly newsletter for the Pathways initiative; Identifying, researching, drafting and editing content on the website page, social media accounts and other digital communication outlets; Creating blog posts, briefs, brochures, etc. to promote the initiative and its research outcomes; Contributing to the development of webinars as part of the Pathways Forum webinar series; Helping with the organization of various Future Earth events.
