What is Bridging science, policy and practice for sustainability: Towards a conceptual framework about?

Sustainability issues at the interface of science, policy and practice are complex and in an urgent need of sound interventions. Producing science without assessing the nature of the conservation challenge can result in science getting undervalued and even ignored. While several models have been developed, they do not provide a blueprint for action. Without adequate guidance, the approaches adopted by stakeholders may be out of touch with the nature of the problem and may result in suboptimal outcomes. What are the types of sustainability challenges in the place-based, knowledge-action interface and how to tackle them? To address this gap, we build on scholarly work, to classify sustainability challenges into four idealized categories: namely, knowledge gap, multifaceted, hegemonic alliance and wicked problem. Then by assimilating insights from sustainability science studies we show that it is possible to suggest a suitable approach to these problems. Using this framework, we analyze case studies from India and show how it can enhance the ability of actors to tackle real-life sustainability issues. The unique contribution of this paper lies in constructing a schematic process for d
