Scope		Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide a comprehensive framework underpinning a wide range of interdisciplinary initiatives in Earth Sciences. With interconnected objectives and impact across natural, social and human sciences, partnerships between academics, students, citizens, industry, businesses and other stakeholders are critical to the success of these initiatives. How equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are valued and embedded in these partnerships therefore warrants reflection and critical examination - for empowering and benefiting all stakeholders. These considerations are all the more important given that many education and research initiatives on SDGs have strong values-driven elements. In this session, we examine the diverse forms of partnerships in the design, implementation and impact of SDGs initiatives. We invite presentations and discussions on how inclusion has played a part in developing and sustaining such partnerships - with a focus on the strategic and international leadership. We particularly welcome reflections on values-driven initiatives in different cultural contexts.
