谁从转基因作物中受益？本世纪会有足够的水供人们生存吗？艾滋病毒/艾滋病大流行的影响是什么？这些是 STEPS 中心提出的一些问题。这本小册子快速介绍了 STEPS 方法，因为该中心致力于应对我们这个时代最紧迫的两个挑战：将环境可持续性与减贫和社会正义联系起来，以及让科学技术为穷人服务。
当今世界高度复杂和动态，涉及多个尺度的相互作用的社会、技术和生态过程，存在许多不确定性，并且不同人之间的理解和优先事项常常相互冲突。这本小册子概述了一种理解动态系统并解决其治理问题的方法，以促进满足较贫困和边缘化群体的观点和优先事项的可持续发展途径。它列出了 STEPS 中心工作的基本要素，包括将不同的社会和自然科学观点联系起来，将理论、政策和实践联系起来，以及采用参与式互动的沟通方法。
Who benefits from genetically-modified crops? Will there be enough water for people to survive this century? What are the implications of the HIV/AIDS pandemic? These are some of the questions that the STEPS Centre is asking. This booklet gives a quick insight in to the STEPS approach as the Centre seeks to grapple with two of the most pressing challenges of our times: linking environmental sustainability with poverty reduction and social justice, and making science and technology work for the poor.
Today’s world is highly complex and dynamic, involving interacting social, technological and ecological processes across multiple scales, many uncertainties, and often conflicting understandings and priorities amongst different people. This booklet outlines an approach to understanding dynamic systems and addressing their governance so as to promote pathways to Sustainability that meet the perspectives and priorities of poorer and marginalised groups. It lays out essential ingredients of the STEPS Centre’s work, including linking diverse social and natural science perspectives, connecting theory, policy and practice, and an engaged, interactive approach to communications.
