Excerpt from Crafting usable knowledge for sustainable development. William C. Clark, Lorrae van Kerkhoff, Louis Lebel, and Gilberto C. Gallopin on the importance of leadership development training and internships.
We argued in this paper that there is a learnable skill to crafting usable knowledge for sustainable development. Relevant lessons have emerged from a combination of field experience and scholarly study over the last several decades, but are not generally included in the training of professional researchers. We attempted to distill here the most important of those lessons and to present them in a form accessible to researchers who want to do a better job in harnessing their knowledge and skills to promote sustainable development.
