Achieving transformational change in land use and climate change: More inclusive and collaborative science is needed

Abstract

“Transformational change” is needed for meeting ambitious 2030 climate mitigation, sustainability and development goals. Definitions of transformational change in scientific and grey literature have the following in common: (i) movement away from the current status, opening new pathways; (ii) sustained change, through institutionalization or deep changes; (iii) focus on root causes; and (iv) harnessing knowledge and learning.
