Abstract

In response to the climate and biodiversity crisis, the number of transdisciplinary research projects in which researchers partner with sustainability initiatives to foster transformative change is increasing globally. To enable and catalyze substantial transformative change, transformative transdisciplinary research (TTDR) is urgently needed to provide knowledge and guidance for actions. We review prominent discussions on TTDR and draw on our experiences from research projects in the Global South and North. Drawing on this, we identify key gaps and stimulate debate on how sustainability researchers can enable and catalyze transformative change by advancing five priority areas: clarify what TTDR is, conduct meaningful people-centric research, unpack how to act at deep leverage points, improve engagement with diverse knowledge systems, and explore potentials and risks of global digitalization for transformative change.

推进变革性跨学科研究的五个优先事项

为应对气候和生物多样性危机，研究人员与可持续发展倡议合作促进转型变革的跨学科研究项目在全球范围内日益增多。为了促成和推动实质性的变革，迫切需要变革性跨学科研究（TTDR）来提供知识和行动指南。我们回顾了有关转型跨学科研究（TTDR）的重要讨论，并借鉴了我们在全球南部和北部开展研究项目的经验。在此基础上，我们确定了关键差距，并就可持续发展研究人员如何通过推进以下五个优先领域来促进和推动转型变革展开讨论：澄清什么是跨学科发展研究（TTDR）、开展以人为本的有意义研究、了解如何在深层杠杆点采取行动、改善与不同知识体系的接触，以及探索全球数字化对转型变革的潜力和风险。
