Misalignments between pathways and SDGs: Exploring plural views on how different STI pathways can address SDG challenges

Abstract

We gathered and analysed different stakeholders’ views about how well the STI pathways in our three case studies (see Chapter 8) can address SDG challenges. For our India case, we concentrated on two pathways to develop rice seeds for climate resilience and wider agriculturalsustainability In Argentina, we focused on two pathways for producing scientific knowledge to address the Chagas disease In Kenya, we considered three STI pathways to address illegalfishing and overfishing in the Lake Victoria region In each case, our research directs attention to plural perspectives on diverse pathways. These plural perspectives enabled us to highlight areas of disagreement and agreement – with key implications for policy.
