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

科学、研究与创新（SRI）在为如何实现可持续发展目标提供新知识、新成果和基于证据的战略方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，由于目标（17个）、具体目标（169个）、指标（232个）的多样性，以及可持续发展目标之间强大的相互关系，SRI对实现可持续发展目标的潜在贡献是复杂和难以捉摸的。由于在不同的SRI领域和技术之间以及在可持续发展目标之间出现了协同效应、权衡和错位，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制定目标，人们没有达成共识。为了充分认识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，能够绘制和研究社会责任投资领域之间以及社会责任投资与可持续发展目标之间的协同效应、权衡和偏差。综合框架还应突出利用所有协同作用的机会，同时建设性地就所有权衡和偏差进行谈判。我们的报告旨在建立这样一个以概念为基础、以经验为基础、全球生产的综合框架。我们的分析旨在授权具体的政策行动，管理和（重新）定位SRI以实现可持续发展目标，同时考虑到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，以实现每个可持续发展目标；b)不同可持续发展目标与相关SRI领域之间的协同作用、权衡和错位；c)全球社会责任体系中的行动者，同时放大到国家和地方层面，以及对实现可持续发展目标最关键的新发展；d)未来最可行和可持续的社会责任投资途径，以实现不同的可持续发展目标并利用它们之间的协同效应；e)开发和影响社会责任发展及其使用的具体政策影响和指导方针，以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面上——系统映射、子系统交互、微观案例研究和深入磋商与参与，通过五个互补的工作包，使用定量和定性方法来构建报告：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、所涉及的行动者及其关系，以开发一个分类法，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、科学计量和案例研究）；3)为实现可持续发展目标，沿着多种途径分析SRI的新兴和未来发展（方法：文献综述、焦点小组/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，以提供详细的证据，说明如何使社会责任投资在可持续发展目标决策中发挥更重要的作用（方法：案例研究、交互式可视化和游戏）；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、讨论投资方向和改进影响机制（方法：咨询会议、研讨会和与利益相关者的讨论）。报告对政策和实践的影响将通过与参与实践的社区的持续接触来促进，这些社区将通过一个参与性论坛绘制地图，该论坛包括我们备受瞩目的咨询委员会和英国和联合国开发计划署团队参与的现有网络。

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.
