Start by asking what successful environmental sustainability would look like in your project. Then consider what outputs, actions and resources are needed to realise your plans.

The prompts below are not exhaustive; they are designed to get you thinking. The accompanying resources offer tips and examples to support your planning.

1. Outcome What does successful reflecting and learning look like in your project?

Thinking about the big picture, what effects do you want to achieve by applying this principle to your project?

Research practices are made effective and robust when they are informed by reflective learning.

2. Outputs How will you deliver your outcome?

What processes will you need to incorporate to reach your outcome? How will each contribute to – and demonstrate progress towards – your outcome?

Will you follow or devise a reflection framework? Will partners and beneficiaries be involved in the reflection process? Can your learnings benefit research culture more broadly?

3. Activities What actions are needed to deliver your outputs?

What day-to-day activities will get you to your outputs? How will you ensure they are equitable and responsible in practice?

When will you hold reflection meetings? Where will you record learnings? How will you incorporate lessons learned into the project timeline?

4. Inputs What financial, human and material resources will you need to deliver your activities?

Who, what, where, when?

Will you need equipment for a reflective journal or a video blog? Will partners need support? Will you attend conferences and events to share learnings?
