The effective pursuit of sustainability requires access to the necessary knowledge and technology to get the job done. Too often, however, knowledge producers trying to support sustainability find their discoveries remain unused while advocates for action to support sustainability find they lack the information most needed to support informed decisions. Fortunately, substantial progress in both scholarship and practice in linking knowledge with action has been made over the past several decades. This seminar will feature leaders at the cutting edge of efforts to build the capacity to link knowledge with action in practice, focusing on the challenges of making complex data not only available but usable and used by local decision-makers from governments to businesses to individual households and communities. This seminar is the fifth in a virtual bi-weekly series on Building Capacity for Sustainable Development. The series seeks to integrate insights from scholars and practitioners on how to get things done in tackling the multiple intertwined crises of the Anthropocene: climate change, extinction, war, inequality, and rising authoritarianism.

The series is organized by M-RCBG, Sustainability Science Program, Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, Center for International Development, and the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs.
