Navigating the Guiding Principles: The Guiding Principles are intended to act both as a guide to core ACCESS activity (in a non-prescriptive way) and as inspiration for the wider Environmental Social Science research, policy and practice communities. We anticipate the Guiding Principles will be developed over time as we receive input from others and reflect upon and learn from our own experiences within ACCESS. These pages – which are not intended to be exhaustive in terms of resources and encouraged actions – have 5 main sections: 1. An Introduction to ACCESS’s three Guiding Principles: Environmental Sustainability (ES); Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI); and Knowledge Co-Production (KCP) 2. An outline of the Core Elements of each of the three Guiding Principles 3. Principles into Practice – a guide through the process of how and when to operationalise and incorporate ES, EDI, and KCP considerations into your ACCESS activities 4. Signposts to Further Resources for each of the three Guiding Principles 5. Activity Matrices – an outline of how the Guiding Principles can be applied to key activities that colleagues and partners undertake across ACCESS, with a range of suggested considerations and encouraged actions for each principle. We have identified nine key activities or areas of work to specifically address (although the focus on these key work areas does not preclude the Guiding Principles from being applied to other activities conducted across ACCESS). These core work areas are: I. Internal meetings II. Workshops and Events III. Communication 5 IV. Working Groups V. Recruitment (employees; participants at ‘applied for’ events) VI. Flex Fund Administration VII. Externally-facing training VIII. People development within ACCESS IX. Research Activities
