实现可持续发展目标（SDG）需要在微观、中观和宏观层面以及不同地区进行变革。协作性的跨学科研究在记录、理解和促进这种转变方面可以发挥作用。以前的工作已经调查了这项研究在欧洲和北美的作用，但在世界其他地区的“可持续发展转型”的跨学科研究的动态不太清楚。本文报告了一个国际项目，涉及跨学科的研究在六个不同的枢纽在地球仪和战略设计，使相互学习和交流。它利用调查，报告和研究成果来分析2015-2019年间发生的跨学科可持续发展合作过程。该文件说明了该项目的结构，以使跨学科，文化和背景下的学习，并介绍了它如何也提供了认识论框架和不同的规范承诺之间的网络成员的谈判。为此，报告讨论了有关使用理论和方法锚点、多循环学习和评估紧急变化（包括遇到的困难）的经验教训。它为未来国际跨学科合作的设计和实施提供了见解，这些合作在2030年可持续发展议程的普遍框架内应对当地特定的可持续发展挑战。
Realising the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will require transformative changes at micro, meso and macro levels and across diverse geographies. Collaborative, transdisciplinary research has a role to play in documenting, understanding and contributing to such transformations. Previous work has investigated the role of this research in Europe and North America, however the dynamics of transdisciplinary research on 'transformations to sustainability' in other parts of the world are less well-understood. This paper reports on an international project that involved transdisciplinary research in six different hubs across the globe and was strategically designed to enable mutual learning and exchange. It draws on surveys, reports and research outputs to analyse the processes of transdisciplinary collaboration for sustainability that took place between 2015-2019. The paper illustrates how the project was structured in order to enable learning across disciplines, cultures and contexts and describes how it also provided for the negotiation of epistemological frameworks and different normative commitments between members across the network. To this end, it discusses lessons regarding the use of theoretical and methodological anchors, multi-loop learning and evaluating emergent change (including the difficulties encountered). It offers insights for the design and implementation of future international transdisciplinary collaborations that address locally-specific sustainability challenges within the universal framework of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
