Mapping Development Pathways between Science Research & Innovation (SRI) and SDGs

科学、研究和创新（SRI）在提供关于如何实现可持续发展目标（SDG）的新知识、人工制品和循证战略方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，由于目标（17）、构成目标（169）、指标（232）的多样性，以及可持续发展目标之间强有力的相互关系，社会责任投资对实现可持续发展目标的潜在贡献是复杂和难以捉摸的。由于不同的SRI领域和技术之间以及可持续发展目标之间出现了协同作用，权衡和不一致，因此对于科学，政策和社会应该如何相互作用，以最有效地实现可持续发展目标和构成目标没有达成共识。为了充分理解社会责任投资对可持续发展目标的贡献，我们需要一个综合框架，能够映射和研究社会责任投资领域之间以及社会责任投资和可持续发展目标之间的协同作用，权衡和失调。综合框架还应强调利用所有协同作用的机会，同时建设性地谈判所有权衡和不一致。我们的报告旨在制定这样一个综合框架，它是基于概念，基于实践，并在全球范围内产生的。我们的分析旨在为具体的政策行动提供支持，以管理和（重新）定向SRI以实现SDG，同时考虑国家差异和跨学科性。我们将开发一个系统的数据驱动分析：a）最相关的SRI领域，以及它们之间的相互作用，以解决每个SDG; B）不同SDG和相关SRI领域之间的协同作用，权衡和失调; c）SRI系统中的全球行为者，同时放大到国家和地方层面，以及对实现SDG最关键的新兴发展; d）未来最可行和可持续的SRI途径，以实现不同的SDG并利用它们之间的协同作用; e）具体的政策含义和指导方针，以利用和影响SRI的发展及其使用，全面解决所有可持续发展目标。为了实现目标（a）-（e），我们将建立在四个互补的分析层次上-系统映射，子系统互动、微观案例研究、深入磋商和参与，使用定量和定性方法，通过五个互补的工作包构建报告：1）通过与国际专家合作，确定相关的SRI领域和技术（方法：焦点小组/研讨会）; 2）绘制每个可持续发展目标的SRI，参与者及其关系，以制定分类法，绘制不同SRI对可持续发展目标的潜在重要性（方法：主题建模、科学计量学和案例研究）; 3）分析新出现的和未来的SRI发展，沿着多种途径，以实现可持续发展目标方法：文献综述、专题小组/研讨会、科学计量学和实时德尔菲调查; 4）与不同利益相关者一起制定政策、工具和实施，以提供详细证据，说明如何使SRI在可持续发展目标的决策中发挥更重要的作用（方法：案例研究，互动可视化和游戏）;和5）与相关研究人员和专家进行持续磋商和接触，以解释结果，确定挑战，讨论投资方向并改善影响机制（方法：将通过与参与的实践社区持续接触，促进报告对政策和实践的影响，我们将通过一个参与性论坛，包括我们的高知名度咨询委员会和联合王国和开发计划署团队参与的现有网络，对这些人进行摸底。

Science, Research and Innovation (SRI) play a crucial role in providing new knowledge, artefacts and evidence-based strategies on how to tackle the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, due to the diversity of goals (17), constituting targets (169), indicators (232), and the strong inter-relationships between the SDGs, the potential contribution of SRI towards attaining the SDGs is complex and elusive. As synergies, trade-offs and misalignments emerge between different SRI areas and technologies, and between SDGs, there is no consensus on how science, policy and society should interact with each other, to most effectively achieve the SDGs and constituting targets. In order to fully appreciate the contribution of SRI to SDGs, we need an integrative framework that is capable of mapping and studying the synergies, trade-offs and misalignments across SRI areas and between SRIs and SDGs. The integrative framework should also highlight opportunities to exploit all synergies, while negotiating all trade-offs and misalignments constructively.Our report aims to develop such an integrative framework, which is conceptually-grounded, empirically-based, and globally-produced. Our analysis aims to empower concrete policy action, for governing and (re)orienting SRI for meeting the SDGs, while accounting for national differences and transdisciplinarity. We will develop a systematic data-driven analysis of: a) The most relevant SRI areas, and the interactions between them, for addressing each SDG; b) The synergies, trade-offs and misalignments between the different SDGs and relevant SRI areas; c) The actors in the SRI system globally, while zooming in to the national and local levels, and emerging developments that are most critical for attaining the SDGs; d) The most viable and sustainable SRI pathways for the future, in order to achieve the different SDGs and exploit synergies between them; and e) Concrete policy implications and guidelines, for exploiting and influencing SRI developments and their use, to address all SDGs comprehensively.To achieve aims (a)-(e), we will build on four complementary levels of analysis - System Mapping, Sub-System Interactions, Micro-Case Studies, and in-Depth Consultations and Engagement, using quantitative and qualiative methods to build the report through five complementary work packages: 1) Identification of relevant SRI areas and technologies by engaging with international experts (methods: focus group/workshop); 2) Mapping of SRIs for each SDG, actors involved, and their relations to develop a taxonomy to map the potential importance of different SRI for SDGs (methods: topic modelling, scienotmetrics and case studies); 3) Analysis of emerging and future SRI developments along multiple pathways, for achieving the SDGs (methods: literature review, focus group/workshop, scientoemtrics and real-time Delphi survey); 4) Policies, tools and implementation with diverse stakeholders to produce detailed evidence on how SRI can be made more central to decision-making for SDGs (methods: case studies, and interactive visualisations, and games); and5) Continuous consultation and engagement with relevant researchers and experts to interpret results, identify challenges, discuss investment directions and improve impact mechanisms (methods: consultation meetings, workshops and discussions with stakeholders).The report's impact on policy and practice will be facilitated through continuous engagement with engaged communites of practice, who will be mapped through a participatory forum involving our high-profile advisory committee and existing networks in which the UK and UNDP teams are involved.
