VS Postdoctoral Fellowship in Valuing Local Co-Benefits for Indigenous Communities
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our?vision towards reconciliation.
The Valuing Sustainability Future Science Platform (VS FSP) is a substantial new 5-year investment in cutting edge research by CSIRO that will recruit several post-docs who will be embedded diverse inter-disciplinary research teams. The VS FSP aims to co-produce future pathways, measures and indicators to underpin sustainable innovation and prosperity for current and future industries and communities.
There is growing recognition that durable and ‘just’ land-based solutions to meet sustainable development goals requires measures and mechanisms that value local cultural capital and the provenance of place-based economies. The VS FSP, the Valuing Local Provenance project focuses on a key sustainability valuation and validation frontier, and how to develop and systematically integrate locally defined co-benefits into emerging sustainability markets.
With close focus on Indigenous and rural communities, this work will demonstrate if (and how) in-practice and fit-for-purpose methods can illuminate and incorporate community-identified values, local knowledge systems, place-based sustainability concerns and how those values align with larger market forces for sustainability.
