To organize the knowledge on sustainable development in order to make it more useful for practitioners and policy makers.
Background
While a significant body of knowledge has emerged on the concept and practice of sustainable development, much of this information is fragmented and is often not available in a form that is convenient for policy makers and practitioners.
To overcome this barrier, the Sustainable Development Knowledge Partnership (SDKP) was established with the goal of organizing the available knowledge on sustainable development, and making it available to policy makers and practitioners in more accessible and user friendly formats.
The partnership is open and will bring together individuals, institutions, and networks engaged in the production and dissemination of knowledge on sustainable development, including research institutions, universities, expert networks, governmental institutions, civil society organizations, private research entities, and individual researchers working on sustainable development.
