Learning how to work together

Partnerships for sustainability and multi-stakeholder dialogues are a new way of tackling the challenges of globalization and of bringing us closer to a sustainable world. It is all about reconciling economic and social development with environmentally sound management of our resources. Cross-sector cooperation is meant to achieve together what one of the sectors cannot achieve alone.

Understanding success factors, lessons learnt and reasons for failure for partnerships and multi-stakeholder dialogues through process-oriented research is key to making them work for the future.
