Swedish funders need an explicit strategy (calls, review process, evaluation) to make sure social science research actively contributes to an emerging international sustainability research agenda.

- Sweden is the first and only country, as far as we know, to undertake such a multi-institutional self- examination. This augurs well for the social science commu- nity and the pursuit of sustainable development.
- But, I’m not here tp praise the report, but rather highlight some forward looking issues, or some of the issues that the report does not cover, but should cover.
- The systems approach has been very useful to research on water management, climate change, air pollution, and many other environmental problems, and has identified a number of important social factors that influence – or are influenced by – the environment. However, this systems framework limits the range of social science in circulation in that it tends to position social researchers as those who can fill in the ‘social’ boxes, e.g. with data on economic, social and demographic trends.
- There is a risk here of decoupling. By that I mean the risk of going back to a model where social science is produced to communicate with peers within the discipline, rather than with a wider sustainability science community. If funders are too eager to create an isolated social science infrastructure with calls, reviews and evaluation that DOES NOT link to the international agenda, we are again building monodisciplinary walls.
- The issue is not whether social scientists should avoid a systems approach, or whether they should but rather. Funders
- My hypothesis is that innovation does not really happen in isolated departments, but rather in tightly coupled networks.

- There is no need to make a choice really, not mutually exclusive, but rather make sure to make these two communicate. It might sound easy, but in fact, the whole system - educational and financial - is not set up to deal with this interplay between systems analysis, and human dimensions of GEC.
- This is the sort of product we want to see, but for the social sciences! The question is: how do we create a funding infrastructure that promotes this sort of synthesis work, that forces us to work in transdisciplinary teams ACROSS the social sciences?
