人们广泛认识到可持续性转型的必要性，同时也需要知识系统的发展，以指导更有效的政策行动。尽管有许多与净零排放和其他可持续发展挑战相关的新政策目标，但城市、地区和国家政府正在努力快速制定转型政策来实现这些目标。作为在科学政策界面工作的学者和从业者，我们确定了管理与设想、实施和评估相互关联的阶段相关的可持续转型的具体知识和能力需求。简而言之，迫切需要对政策和知识体系进行协调改革，以应对可持续发展挑战的速度和规模。其中包括嵌入系统思维素养、将参与性政策制定纳入主流、扩大进行跨学科研究的能力、更具适应性的治理和持续的组织学习。这些过程必须指导进一步的知识开发、吸收和使用，作为迭代和整体过程的一部分。政策知识体系的这种深层次变化将具有颠覆性，并对传统的知识交付组织模式提出挑战，但对于成功的可持续发展转型至关重要。
The need for sustainability transitions is widely recognised, along with a concurrent need for the evolution of knowledge systems to inform more effective policy action. Although there are many new policy targets relating to net zero emissions and other sustainability challenges, cities, regional and national governments are struggling to rapidly develop transformational policies to achieve them. As academics and practitioners who work at the science-policy interface, we identify specific knowledge and competency needs for governing sustainability transitions related to the interlinked phases of envisioning, implementing and evaluating. In short, coordinated reforms of both policy and knowledge systems are urgently needed to address the speed and scale of sustainability challenges. These include embedding systems thinking literacy, mainstreaming participatory policy making, expanding the capacity to undertake transdisciplinary research, more adaptive governance and continuous organisational learning. These processes must guide further knowledge development, uptake and use as part of an iterative and holistic process. Such deep-seated change in policy-knowledge systems will be disruptive and presents challenges for traditional organisational models of knowledge delivery, but is essential for successful sustainability transformations.
