The first for our project “Local SDGs: A general framework for charting pathways to sustainability to future-proof local communities”, is funded by The Ian Potter Foundation, Deakin University, Monash University, the Forrest & District Community Group, DELWP and The North Central CMA. The project team ran a workshop with a group of 25 researchers and practitioners from a diverse background to co-develop the methodology of the project in a participatory process.

Workshop Presentation - Implementing the Project
Downscaling Global SDGs to the local level is a challenging process which requires the implementation of an adaptive framework with key indicators to reach achievable targets. The pathways established to achieve these goals must involve a consultative approach comprising of input from experts, stakeholders and representatives of the designated local communities. Contextual Analyses and Workshops will underpin the most effective strategy to acquire information, analysis, evaluation and productive policy outcomes.

Participants
We selected a diverse group of participants from our list of collaborators below for this workshop including: project team members from Deakin and Monash Universities, sustainability transitions researchers, and our key stakeholders from the Forrest and Goulburn Murray communities.

Workshop Review
A successful workshop with excellent contributions including additional rich sources of information from the surveys about methods in planning for sustainability under uncertainty. We look forward to taking it to the next level by analysing the survey results, drawing practical inferences from it and producing a draft paper. We welcome any suggestions for papers related to method selection.
