Andersson, E., B. Nykvist, R. Malinga, F. Jaramillo, R. Lindborg. 2015. A social–ecological analysis of ecosystem services in two different farming systems. Ambio 44: 102–112.
In this exploratory study we use existing in situ qualitative and quantitative data on biophysical and social indicators to compare two contrasting Swedish farming systems (low intensity and high intensity) with regard to ecosystem service supply and demand of a broad suite of services. We show that the value (demand) placed on a service is not necessarily connected to the quantity (supply) of the service, most clearly show...

Hajer, M., M. Nilsson, K. Raworth, P. Bakker, F. Berkhout, Y. de Boer, J. Rockström, K. Ludwig, M. Kok. 2015. Beyond cockpit-ism: Four insights to enhance the transformative potential of the sustainable development goals. Sustainability 7: 1651–1660.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) have the potential to become a powerful political vision that can support the urgently needed global transition to a shared and lasting prosperity. In December 2014, the United Nations (UN) Secretary General published his report on the SDGs. However, the final goals and targets that will be adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015 risk falling short of expectations because...
Boyd, E., B. Nykvist, S. Borgström, I.A. Stacewicz. 2015. Anticipatory governance for social-ecological resilience. Ambio 44: 149–161.
Anticipation is increasingly central to urgent contemporary debates, from climate change to the global economic crisis. Anticipatory practices are coming to the forefront of political, organizational, and citizens' society. Research into anticipation, however, has not kept pace with public demand for insights into anticipatory practices, their risks and uses. Where research exists, it is deeply fragmented. This paper seek...

Galaz, V., D. Galafassi, J. Tallberg, A. Boin, E. Hey, C. Ituarte-Lima, J. Dunagan, P. Olsson, R. Österbergh, F. Westley. 2014. Connected Risks, Connected Solutions. Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University, and the Global Challenges Foundation, Stockholm.
What are some of the best ways to address such global connected risks? Which tangible global governance pathways exist, how realistic are the existing international reform proposals, and what would they imply? These issues are explored in the newly launched report "Connected Risks, Connected Solutions?" which was recently launched during a seminar held on November 18. The report is the result of collaboration between scholars...
Dile, Y. T., J. Rockström, L. Karlberg. 2014. Suitability of Water Harvesting in the Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia: A First Step towards a Meso-scale Hydrological Modeling Framework. Technical report, Stockholm University, Stockholm Environment Institute, 24.
In thesis: Intensifying Agricultural Water Management in the Tropics: A cause of water shortage or a source of resilience? Frequent climatic shocks have presented challenges for rainfed agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. Appropriate water management practices are among the solutions to the challenges. The role of water harvesting in achieving sustainable agricultural intensification and specified resilience was explored. Sui...

Wijermans, N., M. Schlueter. 2014. Agent-based case studies for understanding of social-ecological systems: Cooperation on irrigation in Bali. In Kaminski, B., G. Koloch, eds. Advances In Social Simulation: Proceedings of the 9th Conference of the European Social Simulation Association. Springer. pp. 295-305.
This paper describes the design phase of an ABM case study of Bali irrigation. The aim of the model is to explain the differences in the ability of rice paddy farmers to collectively adapt through cooperation. The model should allow exploring factors affecting self organisation within and between rice paddy farmer communities. The exercise of the ABM case study aims to move abstract models (theory) closer to real world pheno...
Svedin, U. 2014. Urban development and the environmental challenges: “Green” systems considerations for the EU. In Filho W.L., A. Úbelis, D. Berzina, eds. Sustainable Development, Knowledge Society and Smart Future Manufacturing Technologies. World Sustainability Series, Springer.
The increased expansion of urban oriented challenges calls for the need to develop related policies in a sustainable development fashion. This means to be alert to the grand challenges to connect environmental/ecological—social— cultural—economic and technical factors. These challenges exist in all parts of the globalized world, not least in the EU domain. But the different parts of the world will have to find their specific w...
Svedin, U. 2014. Challenges for planetary stewardship at the entry of the period of the Anthropocene. In Filho W.L., A. Úbelis, D. Berzina, eds. Sustainable Development, Knowledge Society and Smart Future Manufacturing Technologies. World Sustainability Series, Springer.
In the long human history from the period of the use of stone ax tools and the agricultural revolution to the various phases of the industrial revolution from the 18th century and onwards all sorts of innovative approaches have been applied by humans for the sake of survival and prosperity. In earlier days the environmental impacts due to these solutions were limited—although not always locally or even regionally negligible as...
Duit, A. 2014. Conclusion: An emerging ecostate? In Duit, A. ed. State and Environment: The Comparative Study of Environmental Governance. MIT Press. pp. 321-342.
Many recent studies on environmental governance focus on either the micro-level (the local and the individual) or the macro-level (the global) while neglecting governance at the nation-state level. State environmental governance is often perceived as inadequate, insufficient, or constrained by considerations of economic growth. And yet the impact of state environmental governance dwarfs that of the market or international orga...
