From Rio 1992 ToRio 2001 Pre:Johanesburg 2002 Global Reach – AND: * regionalisation * local impact of globalisation * complexification * diversification of power The Time Horizon including preparation 7-8 years Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03 Scale Time

Rio 1992 has penetrated large number of national policies (e.g. Agenda 21) Communities are more ”Sustainability oriented” Major international conventions The interaction beteween MACRO and MICRO is not sufficiently approached and known The science-policy link is still incomplete No forceful transfer has happened yet of resources (econonmic, RaD capacities etc.) from North to South What has happened Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03 What has not happened yet
5
Integration The MACRO-MICRO connection The perspectives of the developing world The science-policy relation Moving ahead – the time dimension Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03 12345
6
Connecting still unconnected domains of knowledge Weaving disconnected perspectives together The link natural science – social science/humanities New interest in systemic issues ( eg resilience) Revisited Facing the needs and the intellectual challenges the range: multi-disciplinary to transdisciplinary facing more facets of complexity in orderly ways living up to holistic challenges accepting the need to act Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural Sciences and Spatial Planning ( Formas) and University of Linköping, Sweden Integration Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03
7
Facing globalisation in a world of local existence The move from global level aggregates only – to regional understanding as the basis for modelling Governance as expressing a multilayed institutional and power reality The role of lifestyles of individuals in a world of market sensitivity The MACRO-MICRO connection Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03
8
The way how to pose the issues The challenge of the importance of practice The challenge of the ”western society” ideal of knowledge production A new critical touch facing what was taken for granted A new sense of normative urge (”Knowledge as tool for transformation”) and We are all developing - in different ways The perspectives of the developing world Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03
9
there is a gap to understand the differences in the logic of the two sides to appreciate a common task to find practical means and institutional forms to face the challenges The Science-Policy relation Bridging the gap Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03
10
probing the historical past perceiving the waves of the megatrends understanding the role of technological dynamics facing the sphere of risks aknowledge the role of vision Moving Ahead – The Time Dimension Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03
11
to probe further the MACRO-MICRO links in a globalized world to find improved forms to integrate different sorts of knowledge to serve the creation of new goals by mobilisation of the critical capacity of science to learn how to live in partnership with the policy world without beeing absorbed to widen the connectivity between science and a broder realm of actors (eg the business community) to serve a democratic development by providing analytical perspectives of future choices to provide a frame for world dialogue Uno Svedin Seven challenges for human dimensions research Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03
12
Dimensions The Analytical to probe complexity The Historical to create a perspective The Aestetic to find what appeals The Normative signposts for the future The Critical probing present assumptions of power Uno Svedin, 2001-10-03
