We argue that walking as a method provides an integrative approach to advance epistemic justice in sustainability research. The theory and practice of walking as a method has grown quickly within the social sciences and arts but remains underrepresented in sustainability research, where walking is typically an object of study (e.g., urban walkability). We argue that walking should be valued as an important mode of knowledge production that simultaneously widens sustainability knowledge, integrates diverse knowledge systems, and supports transdisciplinary sustainability solutions. In this perspective article, we consider the following questions: (1) Why is walking important to sustainability knowledge? (2) How can walk-based methods advance epistemic justice in sustainability knowledge? (3) What outcomes might we expect from cultivating walking as a method for sustainability knowledge? We reflect on how walking as a method centers equity and the contributions of walk-based sustainability knowledge for research and policy.

我们认为步行作为一种方法提供了一种综合方法来促进可持续性研究中的认知正义。步行作为一种方法的理论和实践在社会科学和艺术领域迅速发展，但在可持续发展研究中仍然代表性不足，步行通常是研究对象（例如，城市步行性）。我们认为步行应该被视为一种重要的知识生产方式，它同时拓宽了可持续发展知识，整合了不同的知识系统，并支持跨学科的可持续发展解决方案。在这篇透视文章中，我们考虑以下问题：（1）为什么步行对于可持续发展知识很重要？ (2) 基于步行的方法如何促进可持续发展知识的认知正义？ (3) 通过培养步行作为获取可持续知识的方法，我们可以期待什么结果？我们反思步行作为一种方法如何以公平为中心，以及基于步行的可持续发展知识对研究和政策的贡献。
