This presentation explores how analytical tools can integrate subjective perspectives from diverse knowledge systems into transdisciplinary frameworks that foster sustainability and environmental justice. Drawing from experiences in Mexico, it examines multi-criteria decision analysis and exploratory modeling methodologies that bridge the gap between technical-scientific knowledge and local knowledge, ensuring that traditionally marginalized communities are transparently incorporated into policymaking. By engaging with multiple worldviews, it highlights strategies for co-producing knowledge that is both rigorous and legally bounded to environmental planning frameworks. This discussion underscores (1) the importance of analytical tools in participatory approaches for addressing complex socio-environmental challenges, and (2) how research can go beyond the isolated confines of academia to actively address real-world challenges in the Global South, where it is crucial to engage with the legal mandates embedded in both environmental conflicts and planning efforts.
