In the decade since ESPA started, a new approach to sustainability has been forged. New Sustainable Development Goals have been agreed, a Climate Change agreement signed, and initiatives on Disaster Risk Reduction have become mainstreamed in international development. These each respond to the recognition of the scale and significance of global-scale change, and the necessity to more effectively integrate global poverty elimination, global environmental change, and shifting and uncertain geopolitics, insecurity and increasing inequalities. Within this context, ESPA research can play an important role, and potentially contribute to the new policy arenas that have emerged. Our proposed project aims to enhance the impacts and relevance of the ESPA programme and its projects, and help to define and shape future research agendas to inform global sustainability. This work will explore the lessons learned through 10 years of ESPA projects. It will bring together two critical fields of knowledge that provide powerful conceptual and analytical lens to inform sustainability: resilience and wellbeing. We use these lenses to review ESPA research, and specifically to generate new insights on understanding of the dynamics of poverty and responses to change. Through a synthesis of the literature, an analysis of ESPA science, and a workshop with leading scholars in relevant fields, this project will produce a synthesis of ESPA science on Resilience and Wellbeing for Sustainability, and an interactive guide for policy. The interplay between wellbeing and resilience offers exciting opportunities for informing sustainable development in the face of global unprecedented changes. The synthesis of ESPA findings together with a deeper investigation of the wellbeing and resilience literature will enhance the utility of ESPA project output for future research and policy in a world facing these new challenges.

自ESPA启动以来的十年中，已经形成了一种新的可持续发展方法。新的可持续发展目标已经商定，气候变化协议已经签署，减少灾害风险的倡议已经成为国际发展的主流。这些都是对全球范围变化的规模和意义的认识，以及更有效地整合全球消除贫困、全球环境变化、地缘政治变化和不确定性、不安全和日益加剧的不平等的必要性的回应。在这种情况下，ESPA的研究可以发挥重要作用，并可能有助于新的政策领域已经出现。我们提出的项目旨在增强ESPA计划及其项目的影响力和相关性，并帮助定义和塑造未来的研究议程，为全球可持续发展提供信息。这项工作将探讨10年来ESPA项目的经验教训。它将汇集两个关键的知识领域，为可持续发展提供强大的概念和分析透镜：复原力和福祉。我们使用这些镜头来回顾ESPA的研究，特别是对贫困的动态和应对变化的理解产生新的见解。通过对文献的综合，对ESPA科学的分析，以及与相关领域领先学者的研讨会，该项目将产生一个关于可持续发展的弹性和福祉的ESPA科学的综合，以及一个互动的政策指南。福祉和复原力之间的相互作用为在全球前所未有的变化中实现可持续发展提供了令人兴奋的机会。ESPA研究结果的综合以及对福祉和复原力文献的更深入调查，将增强ESPA项目产出在面临这些新挑战的世界中对未来研究和政策的效用。
