The SISD Forum framework[edit | edit source]

The Forum on Science and Innovation for Sustainable Development framework consists of "Core Themes" used to group the presentation of "Content Items" - Projects, Members, Publications, Programs, Solutions, Commentaries, Education & Training, Integrated Studies, and Key Journals. Content items are on individual pages using style sheets for each type of content. They are classified within Core Themes. They also can be directly associated with other content items.

  • Critical Sectors is based on the United Nations 'WEHAB' Framework and is comprised of six sub-categories (WEHAB + Cities):
    • Water and Sanitation
    • Energy
    • Health and Environment
    • Agriculture
    • Biodiversity and Ecosystem Management
    • Cities
  • Development Goals is based on the Millennium Development Goals1 and is comprised of six sub-categories:
    • Poverty and Hunger
    • Education
    • Gender Equality
    • Health
    • Environment
    • Global Partnerships
  • Research Themes is based on the Core Questions and is comprised of three sub-categories:
    • Sustainability processes and causation
      • Driving forces relevant to a sustainability transition
      • Impacts and response
      • Guidance (institutions and incentives)
    • Methods and models
      • Connecting the ecological, economic, and social
      • Integrative methods for place-based analysis
      • Complex adaptive systems
    • Observations
      • Indicators and monitoring
