UCL - Nature Sustainability Expert Panel on Urban Science-Policy Interface
Partnering with the City Leadership Laboratory at University College London (UCL), we at Nature Sustainability are keen to contribute to the advancement of a more integrated and policy-engaged research agenda on cities.
To further this aim, we established an international and cross-disciplinary expert panel of 25 experts to review the state of urban research for global sustainability at its interface with policy (full briefing available here). The expert group met on 3-4 July to identify knowledge gaps, critical disciplinary tensions and recommend a way forward to strengthen urban research. The group also looked at what can both drive and hinder urban researchers’ efforts to create a more successful interface with policy. A report on the outcomes of the meeting will be produced in November 2017 and further analysis and comment on urban cities will follow in Nature Sustainability in 2018.
