Event description
Aim:
To connect academics and practitioners in order to explore the value of multi-stakeholder partnerships for sustainable development and in relations to specific national and regional policy agendas such as Net Zero.
Multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) have become an important tool for achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs) (UN, 2015). As one of the UN SDGs, Goal 17 (Partnership for the Goals) targets strengthening of the collaborative approaches and partnerships in driving and providing resolutions to sustainability challenges. The event will provide an opportunity to explore theoretical and methodological approaches to understating the nature and the challenges of multi-stakeholder partnerships in addressing the sustainability concerns. The keynote address line-up shows the diversity of theoretical and empirical perspectives. There is a practitioner-lead plenary session exploring perceptions of environmental stakeholders towards partnership and collaborative working. The event also offers a number of leading-edge research presentations in the areas of: partnerships for sustainable development; collaborative leadership; dynamics learning through stakeholder interactions and more.
