Solving many if not most sustainability challenges will require coordination and cooperation amongst a wide variety of actors with diverse interests, resources, and abilities. At the same time, in the rapidly changing Anthropocene system, governance arrangements must become better equipped to respond not just to individual challenges such as increasing heat intensity or infectious diseases, but to multiple and interacting stresses, all happening at once. Meeting the goals of sustainable development will therefore require the capacity of diverse actors (often with competing interests and unequal power) to work together in the face of deep uncertainty. This working paper provides a high-level overview of scholarship governance in sustainability science as well as insights from the past several decades of practice in the field.
