10 For one may have known a thing many times and acknowledged it and yet it is only by the deep inward movements, only by the indescribable emotions of the heart, that for the first time you are convinced that what you have known belongs to you for only the truth that edifies is truth for you. S. Kierkegaard Either/Or
11 Suggestions for consideration Recognize that human and ecological systems are dynamic and their inter-connectedness in flux Maintain flexibility Recognize the need for multiple approaches/sensitive to diversity and indigenous knowledge Broad based participation of stakeholders crucial Robust partnerships from inception to implementation in research process
12 Suggestions (cont.) Ensure institutional support for strengthening linkages between research and policy and decision-making Efforts to build public understanding of and support for funding of research are essential Conscious engagement of the arts and philosophy is necessary to advance progress toward attainment of Agenda 2030 goals
