Session at DNC 2017 // Knowledge management and transfer for adoption of a nexus approach and achieving SDGs
The complexity of the nexus and of the full range of SDGs poses challenges for science and implementation. A critical step is the effective knowledge transfer to/between involved stakeholders, which cannot be a uni-directional process. Also the process of decision-making should follow a structured approach. Therefore, this session will particularly consider approaches and platforms for knowledge management and transfer, enabling peer to peer and south-south learning.
Session at the Dresden Nexus Conference 2017 "SDGs and Nexus Approach - Monitoring and Implementation", 17-19 May 2017
While aspects of monitoring and implementation of a nexus approach are supposed to be addressed in all sessions of DNC 2017, this session is explicitly dealing with the critical step of knowledge management, essential for effective stakeholder participation and engagement.
