Sustainable development cannot be achieved without consensus and understanding between stakeholders. The sustainable development goals were a result of years of lessons learned from different issues, lobbied for by different members of communities, academe, policymakers, the private sector and other stakeholders. However, the skill to push forward an idea, to negotiate between goals, and to create consensus between different groups is to be learned in both theory and practice.
The rapid progress in scientific knowledge and technologies have led to newly found uncertainties that challenge societal growth and development. Public participation and citizen’s participation have become necessary in addressing many issues revolving around potential social, economic and environmental shocks, stresses, and disturbances.
However, public participation calls on representatives from all walks of life, skilled negotiators must balance themselves between being scientifically correct, being sympathetic to contextual issues, and to make knowledgeable decisions against uncertainties while striving to generate consensus. As sustainability scientists, there is a need to communicate, negotiate, and transform research findings, conclusions, recommendations to effective policy recommendations and actions while making sustainability a core value in any decision that society wishes to take.
