报告摘要：Equity and inclusion are at the core of evaluating ongoing efforts to pursue sustainable development goals. It is therefore crucial to examine the nature, process, and outcomes of ongoing socioeconomic and environmental transformations and their implications on equity, inclusion, and justice. Using examples on energy transition, pastoral systems, and global land rush, this presentation discusses how to apply an integrated data science-driven approach to examine human-environment interactions and analyze their sustainability and justice outcomes from local to global levels. The findings advance the field of development studies by understanding joint assessment of socio-ecological system outcomes, and provide science-based solutions for addressing ongoing systemic challenges faced by historically marginalized and disadvantaged communities globally.
