A New Agenda for Sustainable Development

Summary:

The overall goal of the Sustainable Development Research Network is to contribute to sustainable development in the United Kingdom by facilitating the better use of evidence and research in policy-making. This report aims to contribute to this goal by identifying:

- current knowledge gaps, research opportunities and UK policy needs for cross-cutting research on sustainable development issues
- key priorities for such research
- barriers to the promotion and implementation
- recommendation for funding bodies to overcome these barriers
- measures to improve the use of research in sustainable development policy-making and practice
