Boundary spanners needed in sustainability --- I am not sure if I am qualified to become an effective boundary spanner. I believe it is a crucial role and it is needed more than ever in addressing sustainability challenges (beyond SDGs) by linking science and policymaking. A boundary spanner actively supports the development of actionable knowledge for specific policy contexts. Considering the complexity of the sustainability issues that requires collaboration across disciplines and sectors, it is an art that we may develop with time and practice.
