Abstract Non-technical summary Transdisciplinary sustainability scientists work with many different actors in pursuit of change. In so doing they make choices about why and how to engage perspectives their research. Reflexivity – active individual collective critical reflection is considered an important capacity for researchers address the resulting ethical practical challenges. We developed a framework reflexivity as transformative science through systems approach, which helps any decisions that influence are included or excluded research explicit. suggest transdisciplinary can become more by nurturing reflexivity.

Abstract Serious Games (SG) have shown potential as transformative tools in sustainability research. Despite the diverse and widespread adoption of SG multifunctional within collaborative forms knowledge production, their contribution to research processes is underexplored. Likewise, selection, alignment, integration appropriate tailored specific stages a process lacks clear guidelines. To fill this gap, we aim map We propose facilitate assessment alignment guide based on three dimensions: complexity levels, engagement generic processes. This study explores organizes space uses aforementioned dimensions. It provides guidelines each SG's suitability its process. operationalizes proposed conceptual mapping with help two examples. Future work should empirically validate approach across contexts address scalability, long-term impacts, ethical considerations resource-constrained settings.

Abstract Non-technical summary Research for development (R4D) projects are designed to enhance the research community's contribution implementation of 2030 Agenda United Nations. We studied seven R4D that specifically addressed Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 (life on land) in 14 contexts across Asia, Africa, and South America. then analyzed how these interacted with other SDGs. Our findings reveal positive negative interactions between project objectives SDG targets vary significantly contexts, highlighting importance considering local conditions when designing implementing initiatives. Technical analyze focus a particular – interact Latin America, comparing expert judgement targets. indicate success depends largely whether they also working toward than those contained 15. In particular, within SDGs poverty, hunger, water, energy, production consumption, global partnerships was often considered indivisible from objectives.

Abstract Non-technical Summary China formally pledged to peak its carbon emissions within 10 years and achieve neutrality 30 thereafter. Considering the numerous challenges difficulties ahead, it is essential for strengthen building of climate governance systems toward neutrality. This paper examines interactions between elements China's system, develops a theoretical framework neutrality, with view providing more comprehensive information decision-making. Technical high ambitions by 2030 2060 make an urgent issue. Against this background, TAM (‘Target, Actor, Mechanism’) intending provide framework, centering on actors, based two key assumptions: First, stance each actor action depends impact actor's objectives weight these actor; Second, most feasible mechanism solution that can best satisfy actors' objective greatest decision-making influence. Applying in case studies involves three major steps: (1) Identifying actions according transition pathways neutrality; (2) Assessing effects relevant actors; (3) Obtaining mechanisms historical institutionalism analysis. By linking different research methodologies, decision-makers governance. Social media summary Integrating quantitative models bridge gap policy formulation implementation.
